My cat is constantly hungry, whats wrong?

Question

cat is always crying for food, what could be the problem

Answer 1

mabey it's not that your cat's hungry all the time he/she could be bored of eating the same type of food every day have you tried giving your cat a flavor variety or something?

Answer 2

he may have a tape worm go to your vet the have medicine that get rid of it. hope your cat feels better

Answer 3

Definitely try worming, you can buy Drontal online though I would take him to a vet for the first time to get him weighed so you know the dosage.  

Answer 4

Dont jump to conclusions all cats are  individuals like us humans, could just be a fat cat like mine. If it gets really back then ask a vet who knows best.

Answer 5

Try supplementing him.

You can get pet vitamines... (mine won't eat them)

so what I do is buy B vites and crush them along with some acidophilus (for his tummy) and knox gelatin (for connective tissue)

Mix them all together and then take a pinch of it and sprinkle over can food.

I also (because I have a 19 yr old) cook chicken livers every once in a while and cut them up very small / or grind and give them that.

They love it (purrs while eating)  and I find they don't bugg me as much after that.

Beef Hearts are good too... cook/ cut up and freeze for future use. (you can make your own cat food using them)

Your cat may be growing (you didn't say how old it is) but they are opportunist... and will eat EVERY time food is available.  If he is use to you feeding him each time he crys then he has trained YOU.  

good luck >^..^<

Answer 6

Could have worms. You need to take him to the vet so that you know the extent of the situation.  

Answer 7

i agree with Chantalle R maybe he has the worms get him checked asap

Answer 8

If you have a kitten, your kitten is rapidly growing and is probably always going to be hungry.

Most cats are browsers, and dry food can be left out at all times.  In the wild, they would be hunting and catching critters all throughout the day and night, not just three times a day.

My youngest cat is always complaining about being hungry.  But sometimes she will only eat a couple of bits of kibble, and be satisfied.

Sometimes, cats simply want to 'train' you to be their servant.  

Hopefully, your cat has been checked for worms, and found free of worms, or that could be a reason for being hungry all the time.

Answer 9

Is he an outdoor cat? If he is you should bring him to the vet and get him checked for worms. My cat does this too and the vet said No he doesn't have worms. If your vet says this too you might have the same problem as me. My cat is a Maine Coon and since they're bigger they need more food. What kind of breed is yours? The bigger the cat the more food. Maybe try a different cat food. The one you have might not be filling enough. If he's still hungry bring him back to the vet for a follow up, maybe the vet just missed it the first time. Good Luck!

Answer 10

HE'S HUNGRY!

Answer 11
