3 yr. old female cat eating more than normal

[alleycat52]

In the last few days our active indoor only cat seems to be
not able to get her fill of dry cat food. Every day we were giving her
two to three scoops a day and there would be some left over at
the end of the day but now she gobbles it all up and is meowing
for more. She is the only cat and she has been fed grain free Nutrience
brand dry adult food. Thanks

Hi! Can you give her canned food in place of some of the kibble?
Is she spayed?

Yes she is spayed and we have heard that can food only causes
more issues. Right now we have not contacted a vet but we are
thinking she may have some underlying problems

Have you wormed her recently. If she has worms it can cause her to eat more

May I ask, what kinds of issues? My boy gets both canned and kibble, -- his vet specifically prescribed canned food for the extra moisture when he was about two years old, to help his urinary system function better. He's 15 now and regularly zooms around the house and up to the top of the kitchen cabinets.
