I have a cat who's about 8 or 9. He was a stray for years & I finally caught him 3 years ago. He's been an absolute angel. Being a bit wild, I never took him to a vet. I have no idea what condition he was truly in when I caught him. He's always been a picky eater & never gained much weight.
Recently, he's lost weight & doesn't want to eat. He looks at food but won't eat it. He drinks plenty of water & loads of milk though & goes to the liter regularly. He's just thin & seems weak. I know he's had problems with teeth but they've fallen out & he's seemed fine. Because he's not as tame as my other cats, the vet has been avoided. I guess I'll try to take him. I'm encouraged by the fact he's getting plenty of fluids at least. I wonder if it's his stomach. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
