My cat is losing weight and I can feel his spine. Should I worry?

Question

Hello, I am the proud owner of two cats. Recently I have noticed one of my cats has been losing weight. He is a two year old male "Tuxedo" cat. I compare him with my other Female cat and I can feel his spine a bit more then her's. It has worried me so I came here because I can't get him into the vet until this weekend. Thank you for reading, I hope you can help. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 1 month old

Without seeing Mister in person, I can't say if he's too skinny or not, but it would be a good idea to have him seen by a vet this weekend. If he's eating and drinking, and acting otherwise normal, I wouldn't get too worried just yet. All cats are different shapes and sizes, and he may just be a bit thinner than her naturally. I hope this helps!
