What are you feeding her? It sounds like your cat is not getting enough to eat, or perhaps, not a good quality food?

I'd stop buying the stuff. As I said in my previous post, it's not all that good for her anyway. Feed your cat a good quality canned diet, feed brands that contain identified meat, no grains, easy on the fruits and veggies, avoid anything with sugar of any kind.

Feed her three times a day (or four, if your schedule allows) on a routine.

Be sure you give her plenty of exercise with interactive Game time every day, also.

My cat has plenty to eat, and trust me, she's picky with her food too. It needs to be fresh. There will be no interactive game time, she is old and brittle and only goes from the couch to the bathroom to the fridge. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Seniors need exercise too. It just has to be gentle. Massage is a good place to start. Then encourage a little play time in a soft place, like the bed.

I recommend you have some blood work done on her. See what's going on with her organs. Make sure the vet orders the T-4 for thyroid.
