I took my Dad's cat, Miss Kitty, to the vet for her annual. I've been concerned because she's lost weight and she is drinking a lot. I was shocked to find out she has lost over 2 1/2 pounds since last October. She's down to 6 1/2 pounds now. The vet said we needed to run blood test to find out if it's thyroid, kidneys or diabetes. Well after $150 in tests all we found out is her liver enzyme is a little elevated and the vet said it was typical for a cat her age, 13 or so years old, and not to worry. Every thing else came back absolutely normal.
So, what do you guys think is going on with Miss Kitty? She's indoor/outdoor (usually just sleeps on the porch in the sunlight all day), she isn't eating as much but still eats pretty good, she drinks more water and she still hunts the occasional mouse. The only other things I've noticed is her coat is dull and she doesn't use the litterbox much, she must be going outside most the time.
The vet just said to watch her and to bring her back in a few months to check her weight.
