My cat seesm to be losing weight. He eats 2 whiskers sachets a day and also has a good sized bowl of dried food, but he is starting to look skinny.

He is an extremely active cat and often spends all night and most of the day out playing (and catching rabbits!!) in the fields opposite the house, so perhaps he is just really fit?

Any advice?

The amount of food you feed your cat seems about right.

When did you last worm your cat? If she hasn't been wormed then that could be the reaason for her losing weight.

If not then get your cat to the vet - any unknown changes to your cats weight should always mean a check up at the vets.

Is he a breed cat and what age is he,i ask because some breeds have gawky stages (bit like human teenagers) at certain ages

Thanks for your advice. He was wormed not that long ago so I think a trip to the vet sounds like a good idea.

He is a silver tabby.

This is him in a box...his favourite place!!

That is a gorgeous kitty you have - let us know how you get on at the vets

I love tabbys you know not sure why just something about them! I think if you notice him losing weight quickly and you havent changed anything then definately worth a vet visit.

As per above keep us posted on what vet says. xx

Gorgeous lad WaiteGood luck at the vets and hopefully will just be a growth thing that comes with lads-ya wanna see how gawky ours look sometimes for what they eatAnd our kitts and cats can be just as bad

Hi I have been to vets with mine today and he said roony had lost some weight. Said it was nothing to worry about as its just down to time of year. They seem to eat less but are more active as there is alot of animals around for them to catch . Would still get yours checked at vets though just to be on safe side

Hey KatHow'd ya spa go love?Did ya get all funky fresh and revitalised-ready for the 2nd round of chaotic school holsD
