What does it mean if my feline is constantly hungry and is losing weight?

Answer by  HawaiianGirl (6906)

If your cat has been showing any new unusual signs or symptoms, that has not been present before, there may be a problem present. It is unusual for a cat to eat constantly, yet be losing weight. Perhaps it is a problem with their digestive system or intestinal tract. Maybe your cat has picked up some worms.

This could mean she is sick in some way, but most likely she has worms. You should take her to the vet and have a fecal sample exaimined, they can give a quick pill to cure it!

It means your cat is sick and needs to go to the vet, or you are not feeding properly. A cat that is eating but losing weight... well go figure, what would you do if that was you? Taking care of pets is often common sense- I suggest you exercise some.

There are many things it could be. There might be something stuck somewhere in here digestive system. She could be badly infested with worms. It could be any number of other things. For your peace of mind contact your Vet and ask these questions. Good Luck.

It could be a number of things such as a tapeworm or hypothyroidism. I would take the cat to a vet because it could be very serious.

There is more than one diagnosis that can be made. The most common cause is a parasite called tapeworm that saps all of your cat's nutrients. Another cause is fleas draining your cat of blood. Either way you should consult a vet or other trusted professional.
