Why is my 9 yr old cat losing weight

Question

i did get a new kitten a yr ago

Answer 1

He/she could have worms.

Have you made any changes in his/her diet?

Go to your vet.

Answer 2

Try considering all the possibilities! has she ever had any health problems?worms?Blood loss?Ever been pregnant?If she's been pregnant before maybe it's just a growth step,when my cat got pregnant afterward she got really skinny!Or maybe it's age, older cats

do tend to either gain or lose alot of weight,female cats gain alot of weight when they get fixed,maybe try that.Sorry,if your cat's a male

u can just ignore my advice!

Answer 3

i have a dog hes 11 right now.

he got thyroid cancer and is starting and keeps losing weight.

is your cat going to the bathroom properly?

if you see blood in the urine or if they struggle to do #2  those are signs of thyroid cancer.

take your cat to the vet.

if your pet does get a physical every year you should take your cat in just so they can identify whats wrong.  

Answer 4

He needs to see a vet. If he's still eating normally, he may have an over active thyroid. If he's stopped eating, that's indicative as a health problem as well.

Answer 5

Generally when an older cat loses weight, its not good. This may be nothing, but it could be a sign of a disease that needs to be treated. Take her to the vet soon!

Answer 6

shes praobaly sick

Answer 7

listen i have a 10 year old cat and she did the same thing. we took her to the vet to see what was wrong and they said that it is just kinda from her age, that they need food made for older cats. so we went and bought a special type of food that is for older cats and helps supply them with more fat and more protein. and also more vitamins. dont worry. she is not sick or does not have worms. she is just getting older and needs stuff to help her with the changes.
