If youâre still not sure, or you think you might have an overweight cat, have a chat with your vet. Itâs important to speak to them before you make any changes to your catâs diet if you think they are overweight, as their weight gain could be caused by an underlying illness, rather than an over-active appetite.
An insatiable appetite could be the result of simple binge eating, but it can also indicate serious health problems. If she can't tear herself away from the food dish, you may need to consult a vet. Diabetes is a common disease that affects cats just as it does humans. When a cat develops diabetes -- it's most common in old and obese cats -- she has difficulty either producing or utilizing insulin. When that happens, her body turns to its energy stores, like fat and proteins built up over time, and blood sugar increases to unhealthy levels.
