1. Gorging or Fasting
Most people assume a feline who’s constantly asking for food is just a fat cat, but that’s not necessarily true. If your cat is on a fairly regimented diet, and they begin eating much more (or less) than usual, it’s a warning sign. Feline hyperthyroidism and diabetes are often accompanied by symptoms of excessive appetite. Conversely a sudden decrease in food or water intake can be a sign of several health problems, from dental issues to kidney disease to cancer. The rule is: 24 hours of no eating or drinking means a trip to the vet.
