There's no need to get upset and call other people names. I will take him
to
the vet to get a blood panel done. This forum is not intended to be
insulting to others who just want to help. Please be respectful.

I don't mind, I have this asshole killfiled anyway, for some reason. lol

Thing is, we have an older cat, and when I asked the vet about why
her vertebrae stand out though she is at a good weight, he asked ME
about exercise, and told me that if she does not jump and play enough,
she can be at a good weight but look boney. Exercise is important, for
old cats, too.

Does he still like to play with feathers on a string, or catnip toys?

Jeez, what a heartless jerk. It might be something serious like
cancer or a thyroid problem that only a vet can diagnose and you're
asking about playtime?! You should have told the OP to go straight to
the vet!!!! Usenet is no place to get answers to cat health
problems!!! Even on a Ng named with the words "cat" and "health!!!"
Oh, my goodness gracious, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!!
