Why is my younger cat losing weight despite eating normally?

Question

My cat is a rescue and has always been a bit "sickly" since he came to us. However, here recently I changed their food to "The Good Life". My other car seems to be doing good with it but my other, younger cat, seems to have changed. I am not sure what is going on with him! He has begun to lose weight, even though he eats regularly. I am not sure what is going on with him. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | 6 lbs

Weight loss in cats is due to either: 1) Intestinal parasites, 2) Hyperthyroidism, 3) Lymphoma- which also causes vomiting and often-times loose stools in a pet that is eating well. You will need to get Stallone seen by your vet for testing to determine which is more likely so that you know exactly what Stallone needs to treat his condition and get him well. In the meantime continue to feed him as normal and monitor his stools (if possible).
