My last kitty had a similar condition that was never diagnosed. At about 8 or 9 years old, her appetite dropped to almost nothing. Since she was an only child, we were sure it was not a food competition problem.

The vet simply started giving her steroid pills to increase her appetite. She was on them for about 6 years. We never knew what was wrong, but the pills saved her life untili we lost her to kidney failure.

These pills were called Winstroll 2 MG. I think in some areas they have a special pharmaceutical classification because they can be abused. We were lucky to have a trusting and caring vet.

Hugs and kisses to Dale! Glad you're feeling better.
