alright so this started about 2 weeks ago. My cat used to be fat and healthy. It's a bangle, about 3 years of age, and we've raised it those 3 years since it was a few weeks. Anyway, my cat was healthy, not shedding or anything, Fat, but healthy. Anyway come a few days he got really skinny, now you can feel his bones. we tried a different food brand he wouldn't eat it, but he would eat frootloops when they'd fall on the floor or when my niece spilled chicken, he gnawed at it, now he won't ever eat his food so we switched to can food. He ate it so we fed a can a day, half day half night, now he wont even eat canned food, and now all he does is walk around the house meowing whenever somebody's making food or such. His foodbowl will be full, and he chewed open the BREAD bag, and ate some of the bread. Another night he'd take steak off the counter, knock it on the floor and eat it there, and tonight i put canned food in his bow a few minutes before and i caught him eating clam juice off the counter. Then i realized he'd gotten even skinnier so i tried to force him to eat the canned food or normal food, and he wont. when i tried to put his face in his bowl, i realized how weak he's gotten, he litterly was shaking from forcing himself and it was weaker then holding up a couple of pounds with two hands, so i stopped. I'm really worried, other family members are saying we should put him down, what should i do? He doesn't have worms, we gave him medicine, and i don't think they'll take him to the vet. He isn't Shedding and he weighs VERY little now. He spends almost all day looking around for food.. His foodbowl is always full, we have two other cats that're doing just fine eating the food, and they're healthy, moderate to fat.

This cat really needs to see a vet. The behavior and weight loss all point to a medical condition. It may be easily treatable, but you won't know unless you take him to a vet.
