Question
My cat cries all the time he is always hungry and is as skinny as a rail. Any ideas? he is neutered

Answer
Hi Wendy!
He may need to be dewormed. Cats that have parasites will often look emaciated.  You need to take a stool sample in to be checked.  Also, check the brand of food you are using. Try to feed a good brand that has meat as the first indgredient, not corn or fillers.  Plus, he may be hungry!!  Try giving him more food and lots of attention. My cats will cry for attention, not just food.

God Bless,
Becky

Expertise

I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
