A cat has came across my path and is now coming over everyday to eat. I have put a bed outside the door and she is now sleeping in it. Can you please recommend services she may need to be healthy. She’s very skinny and has been eating tons of our oth
She may be skinny due to lack of adequate nutrition, but it's also possible that she has an illness that is causing her to continuously lose weight despite a good appetite. This could be caused by an infection with FIV or FeLV, which can cause them to get skinny like this without having other signs of disease. This is particularly concerning, because it can be spread to your other cat if she is bitten by this cat. It's also possible that this cat has a kidney failure, advanced diabetes, or an overactive thyroid that's causing her to be so skinny. Given these possibilities, the best thing you can do is take her to a vet for an evaluation. However, they will likely want to run some blood tests and other diagnostics in order to diagnose her condition, so you may consider how much you would be willing to invest in her. If you are not sure about spending the money for the vet and possibly treating a life-long condition, then it may be best to take her to a local animal rescue orga
