He is neutered and has all his vaccinations. He is 18 but gets around well and actually, brought home a small squirrel yesterday. He used to be obese (a whopping 22 lbs.) and is now probably around 8 lbs. I know he is old and could pass any day but I'm wondering if it is something other than old age causing this weight loss. Our past cat had diabetes, should we test this one? Also, the last time I de-wormed him, I'm not to sure he digested any of the medication because he was fighting so much being forced the de-wormer. Should I try de-worming him again? I know if he is killing small animals that he must have worms again, right? Could that cause massive weightloss? Also, what are things I could do for him to ensure he enjoys his elderly days! He has always been an outdoor kitty and loves to hunt so I don't want to deny him that. By the way, HIS name is Kitty (we thought it was a 'she' as a kitten!).
