My 13-year-old cat has lost maybe 1.5 lbs over the last year. Is there anything I can do about this or should I just accept that he's getting older?He used to weigh 11 and now it's around 9.5 lbs.
He's a finicky eater and lives mostly on (I'm ashamed to admit this) deli bought freshly shaved smoked turkey. I have been buying this for him for 6-7 years. He goes through 3/4 pound of turkey in 2 days. He will eat some dry and canned food, but he will get very very depressed if I do not have smoked turkey for him. (Please don't yell at me for this.)
Anyway do you think I should accept the weight loss? He's not bony or anything and shows no sign of slowing down.
