I was talking to my roommate's mum about her hyperthyroid cat recently (the roommate's a cat whisperer and the rest of his family are close behind).

This is all entirely anecdotal, of course, but the cat ended up being intolerant of the anti-hyperthyroid medication. Not quite allergic, but it caused her digestive system to partially shut down, causing blockages with the associated vomiting. They only got to the bottom of it when they had to discontinue all medication for another reason, and the cat started pooping again. But once they figured it out, they got on a new medication that didn't have as many issues.

And then I learnt about specialty cat food for hyperthyroid cats that's just normal food with very very low iodine. Basically undetectable levels of iodine. No idea if it's the best choice, and, speaking as someone who has at least a little experience with iodine in food, its just gotta be expensive.
