My cat is gaining weight, but eating less. What could be going on?

[]

Answer

Weight gain despite reduced appetite in cats can sometimes indicate an underlying medical condition, such as hormonal imbalances (like hypothyroidism, though less common in cats than dogs), or even fluid retention. It's also possible her metabolism has slowed down, or she's getting calories from an unexpected source. A veterinary check-up is important to rule out medical issues and discuss appropriate dietary management and exercise plans. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
