Take him to the vet. He may have an overactive thyroid. This needs prompt
attention. Gail "Jackiepm" u38577@uwe wrote in message news:7a3d420bb71eb@uwe... My male cat just wont stop eating he is constantly asking for food.

Get him some catnip, and some toys, a laser pointer, and brush him and sing to him and carry him around in a basket and let him look in the mirror and out the window. He is bored. Get him a canary in a cage or a parakeet to watch. Teach him to dance. |

Are you feeding him good food and not that generic crap? Also has he been
to vets for a check up lately? Celeste "Jackiepm" u38577@uwe wrote in message news:7a3d420bb71eb@uwe... My male cat just wont stop eating he is constantly asking for food.

There are three reaons why this might be happening: 1. Medical 2. Boredom/routine/wants attention 3. The food you are giving him isn't filling him up. He will be more satisfied with a high-quality canned or raw diet compared to feeding dry. But first, you need to rule out medical issues. |

That way he won't eat every time you turn around. He might run to the bottom of the climb every time you turn around, but that doesn't work anything. I'm teaching my new stray to do that and he is learning to make the climb right at this moment. Good luck. |

Cat wont stop eating
If the cat has suddenly changed his behavior, then I'd worry about a
medical issue. Diabetes often starts this way. Cats who are getting high quality food, and don't have starvation issues, usually don't need their food supervised. I keep a low carb dry food available all the time, and feed canned twice a day. A cat with starvation issues has to be fed to satiation. If it were easy to ignore hunger, we would not have a booming diet industry. It is a signal that cannot be ignored. Cats with deprivation problems must decide when they are confident the food will keep coming. Trying too much to head off a cat's appetitite can lead to stress and behavior problems. |
