First a vet visit is required when a furball suddenly starts losing weight for no reason. Just like a human it is a major sign of something wrong. Cats are notorious for hiding problems. Have you noticed any problems in the litter box or if the cat is starting to drink more? This is a quote from Phil site http://www.maxshouse.com/PreventativeHealth.htm Weight loss This sign often goes unnoticed, especially in longhaired cats. Owners who regularly groom their cats may notice the ribs and backbone becoming more prominent. Those who regularly weigh their cats are sure to see a change. A sudden loss of one pound in a cat that normally weighs ten pounds is cause for concern. Subtle weight gains and losses are difficult to notice in a cat you see every day - especially in long-haired cats. Sudden weight loss is almost always a certain sign of water loss and dehydration which are early symptons of feline diabetes and chronic renal failure, especially if the cat eats primarily dry food. A human pediatric scale is one of the best investments you can make in your cat's health care program |

About my Cat Buster.
Ok being out side cat he can have been exposed to a parasite or a number of
other factors worms etc he could have a blockage or be having kidney problems If he is eating and not gaining weight but losing weight something is wrong. If you can catch the furball a vet visit will rule out any problems and piece of mind. Definitely IMO a vet visit is necessary "Shell1165" u24624@uwe wrote in message news:63e7222d40b30@uwe...
