Babycat Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 We're a bit concerned about Scooter... Over the last month or so she seems to have lost a lot of weight. Yet, she doesn't seem unhappy or anything. We upped her wet food intake to 1 1/2 to 2 packs a day and she still has her biscuits and treats and plenty of water but she's gotten so skinny! Her coat is nice and shiny and her eyes bright... We've checked her poop and there's no signs of worms or anything unusual. Anyone out there have any ideas? I'm gonna phone the vet Monday anyway, just thought you guys and girls may have suggestions. Only a thought, but perhaps she might not have much appetite, especially if it gets quite warm.

LyndseyG Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Never thought of that... It can get quite warm on board when the sun's out. Even in this cold weather... I'll chat with the get tomorrow anyway. Just to check... Saying that she's been a right greedy minx today! :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LyndseyG Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 For Babycat and her kitty! Just got back from the vet. He said she had lost weight and he reckons it might be an over active thyroid. He's taken a blood sample and they will call us with the results either today or Monday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your poor little kitty..! If only I could give her a cuddle! So do I! She's not really a cuddle type cat... She doesn't like to be picked up and carried about and she doesn't often sit on my lap. She does though more with Brett... We get the impression she wasn't picked up and cuddled when she was a kitten so she's not used to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cat's like that - being a rescue kitty, I got the impression of a lack of toys and loving families and probably being mishandled. She cries if I try to pick her up, she doesn't like being in a warm room, she won't lay on my lap, she turns her nose up at some of her pouches. Yet she loves being stroked, having her fur brushed and having her treats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG I just got in from pottering about outside and she's brought a dead bird on board and is now happily eating it!!! She's brought mice in before but this is her first birdy!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
