Question by Jacob’s Mommy: Has your cat lost a good amount of wieght on diet food?
I have had my cat on diet food for about 8 months now and he keeps gradually loosing wieght. I’m starting to think he’s loosing to much. He was kinda fat and now he’s maybe average or below average. Do you think the food is main reason or maybe he has tape worms? Does heartworms make cats loose wieght? He never goes outside either, he is strictly an indoor cat. I can’t get an appointment until Friday. I’m a little worried.

I have had my cat on diet food for a little over a month and she has maybe lost almost one pound. I would say that if he is an indoor cat then the chances of him having heart-worm are small from what i can gather it is carried by mosquitoes, it maybe worms or it just maybe time to take him off the diet food cause he is back in fighting form! But rapid weight loss in an animal is never a good thing it can mean more serious issues are going on. I would take him in on Friday and get him checked out, as long as he is eating and drinking plenty of water he is not in an emergent state!
