Hey I'm Jodie.

I'm pretty awesome at giving advice to everyone.
I dont beat around the bush though. I am blunt and sarcastic, and I'll tell you exactly what I think. Get used to it. If you rate me low, it doesn't break my heart.

I haven't had the best life. Its had its stressful times. But I use that to my advantage now. Its made me a wiser person.

I'm funny, and outgoing. I'm generally a pretty happy person. And I'll try my best to answer any question that you throw on the table.

I have a problem with my cat.

We feed him a sachet of food in the morning, leave some biscuits down for the day and give him another sachet of food in the evening. This is normally enough for him. When we first got him, I checked with the vet, who agreed this was adequate.

The problem is that over the last few weeks in particular, he seems to be starving all the time. He's getting into our kitchen and living room bins and dragging old empty sachets and leftover food out of them! He even took out two pieces of garlic bread during the night and ate most of them!

I'm worried there might be something wrong that is increasing his appetite. There don't appear to be any other symptoms so maybe it's just seasonal. I'm not sure.

I will take him to the vet but I thought I would ask to see whether anyone could suggest what might be wrong as there's no point putting him through going to the vet if it's likely to be normal!

He sounds like he has worms.
My cats get them too..they can pick them up from other cats, eating mice or birds..etc.

Its pretty harmless..you can either take your cat to the vet..and get him checked out to see exactly if its worms or not..or just go to the vet and buy some worm pills..you dont need to actually take your cat..I dont think they will harm him even if he doenst have worms. I dont usually take my cat to the vet, I just ask them for pills because when the vet actually takes time to look at the cat he charges money..so I just talk to the receptionist.

And you pretty much need to force feed him the pills. Just put one pill in his mouth and rub his neck until he swallows it. Lol. it sounds pretty harsh but thats the only way to do it.

Just ask your vet any other questions that you need to know.
