when we got her from the cat rescue place 3 years ago, she was very shy, almost scared. for 1.5 years, she pretty much hid and came out only for food and litter box, and only when the "coast was clear" and she had her privacy. anyway, we just took it as her being really shy and we accepted that.
however, we noticed about 6 months agao that she became really thin. the vet said nothing was wrong and things would improve. things got worse she got bone thin and we decided to give her lots and lots and lots of personal attention, to guard her dish from the other animals in the house and even give her wet food and table food ... anything so that she would eat and just survive and see another day.
the good news is that she is still alive, and even more social than even as she now knows what's in the refridgerator and what we are doing at the table at dinner time (she's no dummy!). it still remains that she is terribly thin despite her increased food intake. thin to the point of looking incredibly dangerous and near death. yes, that thin.
still the vet says nothing is wrong? .. folks, any ideas? any direction that i should "hint" at to the vet? if you've had similar experiences, please do share.
note: we figure she is about 4 years old, not elderly at all.
thanks in advance.
