My 14+ year old cat has been slowly getting slimmer and slimmer, last night i noticed just how drastic it's gotten. He is still extreamly affectionate, and eats at least a can of food a day in addition to a large number of cat treats, occasional 'people food', and his dry kibble. He is consuming a normal amount of water and his litter box habits have not changed. The only other change I have noticed is that he has gone from jet black in color to a beautiful brown/auburn color. His stress level has been normal as there hasn't been any new introductions into his life in the last 6-7 months, and he is strictly an indoor cat with no recent contact with the outdoors, his teeth seem fine and he does love to eat. Does this sound like something I should visit a vet for, or does anyone have any tips on what i could feed him which might lead to some healthy weight gain?

Response to last comment. She is eating human food. This may not on it own be sufficient. There are many reasons for weight loss. I can only advise a vet's visit. But as I said cats need food balanced for them and human food on its own probably does not meet that requirement. Good luck.

Hi Cricket, you might like to go to this page:

Cat Illness Symptoms

If there are other symptoms try and factor them in to the diagnosis. But there is only one thing to do, I think, which is to go back to the vet (or a different one perhaps might be wise) if you can afford it. Good luck to you both.

My cat has lost a very noticable amount of weight. He seems to be eating fine. And he still plays with my other cat. He has always had foul smelling stool and once and a while I'll find blood in his stool. I asked the vet about it and he said nothing was wrong and it could have been caused by stress. But now things have been pretty consistant at home and he is losing weight faster than I know what to do. Any ideas what could be causing it?
