I've been lurking around here for a few years and always hoped I'd never have to post a question in this section, but I'm worried about one of my two cats. She's 9, always has been in good health (thank god) and gets taken to the vet regularly. She has always been a small cat, but for the past couple of months she has been losing a lot of weight. She is always starving though and eats everything in sight. I'm feeding her the same amount I always have (recommended by her vet) but suddenly it's not enough for her. She still seems hungry after eating and my husband and I can't eat our food without her begging us for it and we can't leave food unattended, she will eat it. She was never like this before. She eats and eats and just keeps losing weight. Also, she is SO thirsty. I fill her (large!) water bowl everyday now, she's obsessed with it.
I've been getting more and more worried about her but today it hit me when I had a bunch of friends over and they were all like "Oh my god, what happened to Cammie?" "Why is Cammie so thin?" and "She feels so frail!". It scared me and then I noticed she doesn't have that light or twinkle in her eye that she usually does. Now I'm freaking out and it's a Saturday night so I need to wait until Mon. a.m. to call her vet (and I will!). I was just looking for something to ease my fear . . does this sound like something any of you have experienced? What does this sound like to you? Any opinions would be welcome, she's my baby! THANKYOU in advance!
