My four year old timid little girl is still eating so I haven't taken her to the vet yet (was there about a month ago because I thought she had a UTI but she did not). But she has lost weight and has not been eating much. She used to eat my kitten's food (Fancy feast) but since I switched all my cats to my kitten's new food (Natural Balance Limited Ingredient) due to my kitten having diarrhea for a month. My kitten's diarhea cleared up before I switched her food but I thought it was best to keep feeding her the higher quality canned food. At first my other cats liked it but lately (about a month later) they seem to be losing interest. The baby will only eat a chunk of the canned food and then she walks away. She will not come back to it either. She is over ten pounds now so she is not losing any weight and seems fine with the limited amount of food.

My 2nd youngest (the 4 year old) liked the duck flavored canned food at first but now she won't touch it. So she only eats crunchy food and not much of it that I can tell (they have free access to the crunchy food). She is playing like normal and doesn't seem sick or anything. But she is getting skinny. When I took her to the vet a month ago she weighed 9 lbs. Now she weighs between 7.8 and 8.2. And when I took her to the vet she had already begun to lose weight. She was a little butterball before weighing close to ten pounds.

I have tried feeding her various other kinds of canned food and she will just try to cover it up and then walk away. Before I found my kitten in July, this kitty would only eat crunchy food (she ate canned when she was a baby but then refused to eat it after she was about a year old). WHen I got my kitten, my 4 yr old cat started eating the kitten's food all the time as if she'd just discovered how good canned food tastes again. But now she doesn't want any. And she doesn't eat a lot of crunchies either. I've been trying to keep track of her weight by weighing myself and then weighing myself and my cat. But I don't know how accurate bathroom scales are. I also don't know if the fact that my at-one-time- two pound kitten is now a ten pound fluffy furball makes my 4 year old female (who has small features) look even smaller and causes me to worry unecessarily. Like I said she is still playing and everything. What should I do?
