sudden loss of appetite and weight loss in cats

*Sudden loss of appetite and weight loss in cats may be caused by various reasons such as low exercise, environmental issues, functional indigestion, and anorexia.

If the loss of appetite is caused by low exercise and environmental issues, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. You need to adjust your diet and environment, and there is generally no need to worry. If the sudden loss of appetite and weight loss are abnormal and accompanied by other uncomfortable symptoms, such as nausea and loss of appetite, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to a regular pet hospital in a timely manner to identify the cause and further treat.

1. Low exercise

If a cat's exercise level is low and it often eats too much, it can lead to excessive fat content in the body and obesity. Moreover, the cat doesn't like to exercise, and its appetite may decrease over time, affecting normal eating and gradually losing weight. You need to adjust the diet, eat small meals, and avoid overeating.

1. Environmental issues

If the cat is unfamiliar with its surroundings, it may affect its appetite, leading to long-term refusal to eat and a decline in immunity. This can also cause weight loss gradually. You need to change the environment and choose a place the cat likes.

1. Functional indigestion

Usually caused by poor eating habits, it affects the speed of gastrointestinal peristalsis, leading to loss of appetite and poor absorption of nutrients, resulting in the cat becoming thin. You can take digestive enzymes under a doctor's guidance to improve it.

1. Anorexia

It is a psychological disorder that reduces weight through fasting and vomiting. If these measures are taken for a long time, it will reduce the body fat content and affect the normal weight. You need to follow the doctor's advice and improve it through psychological counseling.
