I made an appointment with her vet to examine her, what are some questions I should ask him? Terra has also not been eating enough to maintain her weight, which her vet says ideal at 14 lbs.

When you get blood work done, ask for the pancreatitis test. It’s called Spec fPLI. I’m not saying she has it. But a lot of vets overlook it. It will save you a lot of time and trouble to rule that one out first before they ask for all the other tests. But if she has pancreatitis, that becomes a priority. That’s why it baffles me that they don’t automatically include that test in the first round of testing.

Would a cat with pancreatitis have loose yellow colored poops? I wonder if that's what my Aurora has, I just posted about her puking.

That or EPI or parasites or a number of things. The EPI test is fTLI. Very similar sounding test.
