Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
He is probably very sensitive to foods. My last cat was, so we had to give her a special diet. There are simplier foods for sensitive cats that your vet can recommend. But your cat may have something serious going on that only a vet can find out about.
I hope he gets better!

Diarrhea and vomiting is not normal for an old animal even for one day. You should bring him to the vet immediately. Or, if you absolutly can't, then call the vet and see if they can offer some kind of advice. They will most likely tell you to bring him in so that they can do some tests on your kitty, such as blood tests, urine tests, fecal tests, x-rays, etc.
It doesn't seem like he's bloocked because he is having diarrhea, and if he was blocked, then nothing would get through.
Where did you get the medicine that your giving him? It's not good to give a cat anything besides what your vet gives you (especially tylenol, acedominophin can kill a cat with one tylenol)
You can call your vet up and treat this as an emergency situation and they will have to make time for you right away.
There is no way for anyone to find out what is wrong with your cat until more tests are done. (also, it still could be kidneys because your cat can still pass urine with some kidney damage)

You should definetly bring him to the vet.
Just keep feeding him, maybe try a different food, he may not like that kind.
Hope everything works out.

You really need to get him to the vet as soon as you can. That sort of behaviour is usually quite serious in a an animal of any age, but more so as they get older. It could be anything from furballs to an obstruction, from an organ problem, kidney, liver, pancreas etc to an infection. He could become dehydrated if this continues and it is likely to get worse. Don't take any chances, please? Good luck.

It's possible that maybe there's something wrong with his liver perhaps? If he's still urinating properly then I doubt it's anything to do with the kidneys.
Really what you need to do is take him back to the vet. If the medicine isn't working and he's losing weight, it's something wrong internally and it might be he's on the wrong medication.
Rather than feeding him normal cat food at the moment, try giving him real chicken or fish, as these are quite plain compared to processed cat food and may be easier for him to digest.
Just make sure you get him back to the vet as soon as possible. I really hope he's okay.
