hungry cat

[mrsmagoo]

Do you notice him drinking or urinating more than usual? Is he losing weight? A trip to the vet could help rule out several medical factors that cause cats to eat more than usual. Please let us know if you find out what is wrong.

hes getting over weight and nothing else has changed but he keeps nagging for food constantly , maybe it is thyroid ,he is getting on i realy dont know if this is normal for an old cat to want more and more food .

No, so a vet trip is in order. If it is thyroid, the vet can check that, and likely correct it with medication.

Brain chemistry is a tricky thing - the few times in my life I have had to take prednisone, for example, I was hugely hungry all the time, regardless of the reality of what I could possibly eat, or have just eaten.

To the vet with kitty, sorry!
