Unexplained weight loss in an older cat, even with a good appetite, is a significant concern and often indicates an underlying medical problem. Common causes in senior cats include hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, or various forms of cancer. Your veterinarian will need to perform a thorough examination, including blood tests and potentially urine analysis, to pinpoint the exact cause. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing these conditions and improving your cat's quality of life. Do not delay seeking veterinary advice for this.
