My cat lost a lb and feels bony to me and there is webbing on her feces. She is eating drinking sleeping etc appropristely and her weight has remained the same. What could be the deal?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! How old is Chelsea? If she is thin and lost weight I would have her seen. Bring a stool sample to be checked for intestinal parasites. Other causes for abnormal stool and weight loss are: feline leukemia, FIV, feline infectious peritonitis, kidney or liver disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, inflammatory bowel disease or intestinal lymphoma (cancer). Different things are more likely at different ages. I wish you the best
