My senior cat eats constantly. Is this a sign of hyperthyroidism?

Question

my cat is 20 years old and she wants to eat every hour or two should I feed her and why would that be

Dr. Leigh, DVM · Accepted Answer

She could be hyperthyroid and have an increased appetite. Your vet could run bloodwork to determine the cause and rule-out other possibilities, as well. Feeding her every hour or two seems excessive.
