My one year & nine months old male house cat is eating more lately. I can still feel but not see his ribs so he is not getting too fat or too thin. He appears to be the same weight, give or take a lb or two (I picked him up and stepped on the bathroom scale to check). He is leaving a healthy amount of stool in the litter and is going number one OK too.
I was feeding him just enough to cover the bottom of a coffee cup about every 4 to 5 hours a day. Now he wants a little more than that 3 to 4 hours apart.
I don't know that it has anything to do with it, but he has hot spots he scratches that leave sores on his upper back and the back of his legs. He has had this issue for quite a while and long before he started eating more. The hot spots are not gone but much smaller now that I treat the spots with hot spot spray and also with coconut oil.
I am trying to figure out whether it is a health issue that he is eating more or if it is normal.
