I always said it would never happen to me

That's probably why he's puking. Cats really shouldn't be eating dry kibble, even if it's a prescription diet.
They will get fat, puke and eventually have kidney failure because of it. Trust me, I had to go through this with my cat. He was also on prescription dry food and it really wasn't working. Once I switched him to wet food only, he dropped a bunch of weight and got all his energy back.
That dry food is bad news.

Hes got plenty of energy. Has maintained his weight forever....other than eating dimes and carpet, hes super healthy. I mean I'm not saying a dry only diet is the best for cats, but its worked for him so far. Most of the time when he yacks, its hair related.
You ever try mixing them to see if he'll eat that? I do that on occasion for the dogs to change things up and they scarf it down.
The wife said something similar about our cat.
She said "Well, he likes the dry food" and kept feeding it to him for years, despite my warnings. He ended up dying of kidney failure due to the poor diet. It was years of painful decline with the need for constant medical care and a huge expense with Vet bills and all his meds.
I don't mean to "preach", but having been though that with our cat, I don't want to see it happen to anyone else. You have a very handsome cat and I hope he lives a long life.

He was 18.
Problems started at 15.
But I have a coworker who has a cat with the same issues and he's only 8. He took him off the dry food and his condition improved dramatically.

We have a Bobsweep Junior robo vac that we use on our main floor where the dogs are. It does a nice job overall. I only use it when we are around now, because it one time ran over our senior Golden Retriever's tail while he was sleeping. It got tangled up in the long tail hair, and then the poor dog ran around the family room and up onto the couch with it still clinging on. It shut itself off, but it was wound up pretty good on his tail. Poor guy had a "would you get this fucking thing off my tail/why would you do this?!" look on his face. So, yeah, now we only let it work when we are around to keep an eye on things.
