your skinny baby is insecure and not able to eat without being nervous of the others taking all the food--do you have separate feeding and watering and litter place for her???? might be a very good idea--maybe she is being intimidated by one of the other kitties--do you have a friend who can adopt her for a while to see if she perks up when solo???
that way you can still see her and watch her improve--try isolating her from the others first, and give her special love and attention--watch to see if she gets more secure in her habits and perks up. if not--maybe see your friend for the trial separation--it is vwery difficult to watch a loved pet waste away in front of your eyes for no known human reason--some kitties do not do well with competition for food and water and love. they need so much more than others--good luck with her.

Feline leukemia. Just talk to someone that had the same thing happen. The sick cat was put to sleep and her remaining cat tested positive but is showing no signs yet. Unfortunatly the remaining cat has to be kept secluded from other cats as it is contagious.. After his passing the owner was instructed to wait 1 year before bringing any other cats into the house. Get the cat to Vet and have it tested to rule this out.

I would take it to the vet - If it is sick , it is the humane thing to do. Allow them to give it some medication to help the cat feel better. Also, it will make you feel better too. At least give them a call - maybe they can recomend some food, or over the counter things. I wish you well - I know how hard it is to have your animal not feeling well.

You need to take her to the vet fast!
Something is bad wrong with her! Maybe FIV or some sort of WORMS that only she has!

It could be a lot of reasons. Allergic to the food, asthma, tapeworms, cancer. But you will never know unless a vet does some tests.
