Hi there
my cat has lost about 50% of her weight since the start of summer. We don’t have ac and it’s hot in our house even with window opens. Temps indoor are about 80-90°F. She gets outside time about 1-2 hrs a day to roam while we watch a close eye on her in the garden. She is sleeping per usually and nibbles on her food and seems still interested in food, she just has stopped eating her wet food entirely and mainly nibbles dry food. I think she’s eating about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of dry kibble everyday. She is also drinking water occasionally and I do the skin test on back Of her neck and it’s snaps right back so she’s not dehydrated. She still loves playing and Active and full of energy
everything behavior wise is normal besides eating less and not wet food consumption. I can see her tummy do an indent in right before her hips when she’s standing and I look down on her so she’s def skinny. I can feel her shoulder blade and hips when I pet her but don’t feel her ribs (yet).
has anyone experience their cat losing weight bc of the summer and heat? Should I be concern? First time cat owner with only one summer with the cat, and she didn’t lose weight that last summer.
Thanks.
