I have a 2.5 year old orange male tabby cat named Marley. He is a big hairy cat. He is VERY long and lean. He has always been on the slim side but over the past 4months or so he has lost about a pound or so, maybe a little more.
This is right around the time I found my new kitten and brought him to in to live with us. His name is Miles. At the time Marley was eating about one half to one third of wet wellness food a day and he had free access to Innova dry food. Well the Innova didn't agree with Miles so I had to switch to something less rich. I ended up getting Nutra Source. He is doing much better on this food but I figured out about 2-3 weeks ago that I never hear or see Marley eating it!!! I felt horrible so I went and got some Innova/Evo to give to him. I keep it up on the cat food counter so he can eat it and Miles doesnt pay much mind to it....until a few day ago! So anyway now he is getting about the same amount of wet food and he has the dry food he likes. He seems sooooo thin. I can easily feel his spine and ribs. He ALWAYS wants treats! This makes me think he is hungry. He is eating his dry food again, but Im not sure how much. He was really sick about a month ago. He had a really bad acne outbreak and had to have meds for it. You could tell he just didn't feel well. BTW, he weighs 9.5lbs. I think the biggest he ever was, was 11.5 and that seemed to be a good weight for him. He could easily be 13-14 and not be overweight.
Any advice here would be greatly appreciated!!!
