    Underweight Cat
    I have a 15 year old cat, who has always been quite thin but in more recent months he has lost even more weight. Now he would be well under 1 kg. He is always hungry. I feed him at least 3 times a day and he loves milk. He is regularly wormed. Do you know what might be wrong with him?

    If I am correct your cat weighs 2 pounds. I would see the vet asap. Just to make sure he is not in any pain, 15 is quite old for a cat. If he were my cat I would leave food out all of the time so he could eat whenever he wanted. Maybe the vet will have some answers for you.

My cat is extremely thin, and it is sickly how you can feel every bone in his back when you pet him. We feed him 2 times a day, but he doesn't eat it all. He is a picky eater, and he is lactose intolerant. He also gets sick when he eats seafood. Is there a safe way for him to gain weight?
