Hello. I am sorry that Tikvichko is unwell. The best think you can do for him is feed the highest quality cat food you can afford. I do not know what is available in your country, but a good website to look a all kinds of foods as well as other cat health issues is www.catinfo.org. The other possibility is your cat's thyroid may be a little sluggish. This might be something to have your veterinarian take a look at in the near future. Thanks for using PetCoach.
