Little Kitty is 15 now. She eats well, plays occasionally, and is always sweet. But she seems to be losing weight lately. She doesn't act "sick " in any way, she isn't crabby. Is it normal for an older cat to just lose weight. She was always a little chubby, never overweight but now the weight loss can be seen. Please help.

NO WT lose is NOT normal .... Please get your kitty to the vet ASAP and get at minimum a senior panel ... There are many many common "older kitty" illnesses that can cause wt lose but they can be managed ...

Please do get your kitty to the vet for blood tests - some require pre starving, so you might want to ask when you make the app. Good luck, and I do hope it is soemthign that can be controlled.
