I have a female cat she is about 15 or 16 years old.
She has started to get really skinny and I can feel her ribs and spine, she is a persian so she is a longhair. but her fur doesn't have the same shine as it used to.
She eats alot. And she goes to the "toilet" daily.
So is she sick? Or is she just old?

Your cat is getting older - that's true and it looks like your cat is suffering for a long time. In a serious case, she may have cancer. But also it could be warms in the intestines that contributes to the loss of weight. I recomend you go with your cat to see the vet as soon as possible. 40% 2 Votes
