A cat not eating, showing a weight loss,
is ALWAYS a problem. Problems of that
nature should be dealt with immediately,
not allowed to go on for months. Don't hold back on
going to a second vet.

Good info below.

You don't mention exactly which tests you've had done, but if you haven't

had her heart checked, please take her back to the vet ASAP. My cat also
lost his appetite, and standard tests showed nothing. However, eventually we
discovered he had a form of heart disease called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
(HCM). This disease is more common in Ragdolls, so it has to be a
possibility. Please ask your vet to ultrasound her heart, that is the way to
diagnose this disease. More info he
