My cats are loosing weight

HI All,

I am new here and need help. I have two female cats about 2 and 3 years
old and both spayed. I have noticed in the last few weeks that they are
both eating less and less (same brand of food, (Natural Ballace dry
food and Fancy feast or friskies canned) even though there is food
available to them all day and I give them one can of canned food in the
evening when I get home. Any ideas?? Also, a while ago I started mixing
a spoonful of Gerbers' mixed vegetables (carrots and peas) baby food
with their canned food every evening which I have stopped in the past
two weeks. Is this a good additive to give them more fiber? I
appreciate any advice.

Thanks

Why do you want them to have more fibre?

When you get home from the vet, let us know what he said. Of
course you know that loss of appetite can be a sign of serious
illness, and that not eating enough can kill a cat in short order,
so I know you made the appointment before you bothered to
post to a Usenet group.

Hope your babies are okay.

I just wanted to add that the folks who make cat food are better than
the average consumer at providing what cats need. Another good point:
if they were eating fine and then stopped when you changed something,
change it back.

If both of your cats are losing weight and they are not on a weight loss diet,
it's time for a vet visit to find out what's going on.

Hope the baby food didn't have onions in it. They can destroy a cat's red
blood cells and cause anemia.

A 2 and 3 year old cat doesn't need any more fibre than what is in their cat
food. Adding more for no reason is not recommended unless your vet advised
you to.
