My cat gained weight quickly and is drinking a lot more water. Any ideas?

[]

Answer

Increased thirst and rapid weight gain in cats, especially if accompanied by changes in appetite or energy, could be indicative of several health problems. Common causes include diabetes, kidney disease, or hyperthyroidism (which often causes weight loss, but can have atypical presentations). It's important to get your cat to a vet for diagnostic tests, including blood work and urinalysis, to pinpoint the cause and start appropriate treatment. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
