Default Cat has head tremors

My cat is 14 and for a couple years now I've noticed, rarely, that his
head will twitch a bit, sort of like Parkinson's disease but not as
consistent. Now I'm noticing it more frequently, much more frequently.
He is getting a "senior wellness exam" this weekend and I'll bring it
up then, but just wanted to ask here if anyone knows what could be
causing this? Do cats get nerve disorders like humans?

Cats get most of the ailments mankind is heir to, including
neurological ones. The cat might have a senile tremor.

When the fog came in on little cat feet last night, it left these little
muddy paw prints on the hood of my car.
