Cat loosing weight, need help

    My 8 yr old female semi long haired cat is loosing weight. At first I didn't notice as she was always light anyway but recently she seems to have lost more weight. I can feel her spine when I pet her but not her ribs. She was always a picky eater and prefers dry food but will lick the gravy or jelly off wet food I put down. She pukes the odd time but that's more due to fur balls than anything else. I brought her to the vet last week and he said she was an ok weight but I'm still not happy with her as her hind quarters seem concave. Can anyone help recommend a food to put on weight. I've googled and people seem to be saying kitten food may do the trick. Any advise would be grateful. Thanks 😺

    Royalcanin have a good variety of cat foods. There are tonnes of good cat foods that you can try till you find the one that your cat likes. Cats are notoriously fussy eaters.

    I think if your unhappy with the vets opinion its always a good option to get a second opinion from a different vet.
    Good luck.
