Cats by nature are grazers and they eat a little at a time. Dogs just seem to gulp their food down in most cases. Your cat should have a physical check-up each year along with any shots that are needed so take a stool sample along and be sure your cat doesn't have worms. If in doubt then stop in at the vets and pick up some worm medication.

∙ 14y agothe cat could possibly not like the food or it has a tape worm or it is lonely needs more attention. it could be abused so they would rather starve then be abused or they just need a lot of care!

∙ 13y agoThere is two possable awnsers to your question
1) your cat could have worms
2) your cat could have a disease calledHyperthyroidism.
If your cat is exhibiting these symptoms you need to get it to the vet asap.
If it is indeed hyperthyroidism, it is easy to diagnose and treat. If you choose the drug treatment route, it is fairly inexpensive too.
The only major expenses are in the first few months of treatment. Once the cat has started on medication (usually methimazole) it needs to go back for blood tests to be fine tune the dose. When the cats thyroid hormone is at about the correct level you need to go back only every 6 months to have it re-checked.
Please get the cat to the vet right away to get it under control. The longer you wait the longer it is putting great stress on your cat's heart and kidneys

∙ 15y agoA good guess is hyperthyroidism. It's treatable with medication. You'll need to see a vet and the blood tests may get expensive. Good luck

∙ 12y agoBecause cats are nibblers and like to munch all the time, they are always hungry, that's what they live for is to find food: that's why they instinctively chase after anything that moves.

If your cat is skinny do you feed it fatty foods?
By "food", you need to stick to cat food and not feed the cat fatty human food. Too much fat could harm the cat's health. If the cat is underweight, it is advisable to possibly find a different cat food, one with a higher meat content which would increase the content of the protein and fat. Ideally, a cat needs about 5% of fat daily. I feel a must point out that a skinny cat doesn't automatically mean the cat is underweight. All cats are built differently; some a huge hulking beasts with many layers of muscle, while others are small and lightly built, which can sometimes make them look thin when in fact they are an ideal weight. It is advisable to get your vet to check the cat's weight to determine if it needs a change in diet.
