MALE CAT 14 YEARS OLD

Question
I HAVE A MALE CAT 14 YEARS OLD,  HE HAS GOTTEN VERY SKINNY LATELY.  I HAD BLOOD TAKEN OUT OF HIM BUT THE RESULTS WERE NEGATIVE...THYROID OK, LIVER ENZYMES OK. HE IS ALMOST ALWAYS HUNGRY BUT PREFERRES TO EAT THE SOFT FOOD RATHER THAN THE HARD FOOD, THOUGH HE OCCASSIONALLY EATS THE HARD FOOD.  HE MEOWS LOUDLY WHEN I'M IN THE KITCHEN.
HE DOESN'T RUN AROUND MUCH AS HE USED TO AND EITHER LAYS AROUND OR SITS ON HIS LEGS FORMING ALMOST A BALL... HE IS ALSO A LITTLE GROUCHY. THANKS FOR YOUR ADVICE!

Answer
HI Dave. You have an older cat that is going through changes. If he is STILL getting thin and constantly hungry, you may want a second opinoin from another vet.  Make sure they did whats called a FREE T4 along with his routine bloodwork. Even though his T4 level may have been normal or high normal, most vets dont run a FT4 unless they see a sky high T4.

Also diabetes and cancer come to mind.

Being 14, give him what he wants. He deserves it.
