Question:
Excessive thirst, weight loss despite good eating, are also signs of diabetes. You might want to have your cat’s blood glucose levels checked as well.
Response:
1. when she is fed a food or snack which she really loves she will eat so fast that she’ll vomit. Is she given access to food anytime she wants, or only on your schedule? This sounds like a ‘learned’ habit of gorging on food because there isn’t going to be any around or she has to fight off ‘the others’ (even if she’s the only cat). If you are patient, you can give her a little bit of the wet cat food at a time. Pet her, talk with her, etc. Leave plenty of dry cat food out for her to eat when she gets hungry. She will ‘learn’ that food is always available to her and she doesn’t need to gorge herself. Well, hopefully.
This seems like a plausible explaination. When I got my first cat, she was just a kitten from a ferral cat we found. Needless to say, she was quite afraid of us at first, but she got over that within a week. When she was calmed down an I was satisfied she was eating the dried food, I tried some wet stuff. Sacred Heart of Mary, she flew into a fit. You couldn’t go near her or it was a full scale attack on your hand. She ate it at an alarming rate, gorging herself. But I kept feeding her it and trying to stay near, showing her I wasn’t going to take it. And now, two years later, you could hook a mouthul out of her mouth while she’s eating with no problem (not that I do). Anyway, she we got another cat when she was a year old, and when I give them their wet food treat (there is always dry food out, I give them a can of wet stuff maybe once a week) they both eat off the same plate, and there was never one incident. You may try leaving food out all the time, to show her that it is always there, although I have heard that they can gain weight that way. I guess it is dependent on each cat, as both of mine seem to be at an acceptable weight for their situation (indoor cats, spayed, food always out). The older one is 9 pounds and the younger, 7. — Paul Traverse Memorial University Of Newfoundland Computer Science Department http://home.thezone.net/~traverse

Some cats simply enjoy making you get up to turn the tap ON. Mr Boot E will, if no one pays attention to him lurking around the sink, carefully remove the push-down stopper (no mean feat for someone with paws) and drag it out of the bathroom. When he is feeling lazy, he simply knocks my collection of blue glass doodads onto the floor. Ms Pinky is NEVER thirsty until I sit down on the can. Then she becomes insanely affectionate and runs from the tub to the toilet (about eight feet away) until I turn the water on. If the water is already running, I have to turn it off and show her that I am turning it on. This has NOTHING to do with her sight or the quality of water dishes–we use both glass and metal, and pure spring water. It has nothing to do with the quality of the water either. Mr Boot E will drink from an open toilet which hasn’t been flushed. My cats are simply spoiled. No one to blame but myself… DL
Response:
Your cat may be drinking from the faucets because there is a problem with her eyes. Some cats have vision problems, they cannot judge the water level distance. They can’t figure out how far away their tongues are to the waters surface. Try replacing her water dish with a clear glass dish see if that helps.
Response:
One possibility: does the cat have a plastic water dish? I read in a brochure at the vet’s office that some cats are allergic to plastic, which keeps them from drinking water in plastic dishes. I bought our kitties a ceramic dish, and they stopped begging at the sink. I don’t know if this is true for food dishes, too, but I’ve not had any trouble.
Response:
I am no expert, but these symptoms sound like what my cat went through with hyperthyroidism. Weight loss, eating and drinking a lot and hyperactivity are common symptoms. My cat went throught these changes slowly and he never did get to a dangerously low weight, but he was eating and drinking ravenously. Right before he finally got treatment he was up to 3 small cans/day and was around 10 pounds instead of his usual 12 1/2-13. You might want to talk to your vet about the possibility. Also, the thyroid tests are not always accurate. In the case of my cat the blood tests turned up normal, and the T-3 Suppression test (I think that’s what it’s called) only showed a slightly abnormal thyroid. Finally a thyroid scan confirmed it. Your kitty’s thyroid may not be the cause, but it’s something you might ask your vet about. Shelly – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Female cat, 6 years old, black domestic shorthair, was losing weight (13.5 lbs—- 10 lbs) got bony for awhile. I brought her to the vet and they did a blood chemistry, which was normal. I started to feed her canned food to bring her weight back up, this worked, she seems quite closer to her old appearance and weight. However she still has some problems. 1. when she is fed a food or snack which she really loves she will eat so fast that she’ll vomit. 2. she is obsessed w/ drinking from the bathroom tub faucet or kitchen sink faucet. she will beg for water, she will then drink to the point of vomiting… Diabetes and kidney disease have apparently been ruled out by the normal blood chemistries, so do I just have an obsessive kitty? should we think about kitty prozac? anytime anyone goes upstairs she’ll run up in the hopes we’ll be using the bathroom, so she can beg for water. she sleeps on the toilet all nite and jumps in the tub when someone comes to the bathroom late at nite… and she’ll sit in the tub and wait for someone to come, when she hears footsteps coming toward the bathroom cat otherwise seems shiny, healthy and very content. she is at an acceptible weight. — J.T.

Some cats’ weight will vary greatly depending on the season. One cat I grew up with was outdoors a lot and would gain several pounds for the winter and promptly lose them all (and the fur!) for spring. This is speculation in your case, but maybe a possibility. However she still has some problems. 1. when she is fed a food or snack which she really loves she will eat so fast that she’ll vomit.
Is she given access to food anytime she wants, or only on your schedule?

Well, hopefully. 2. she is obsessed w/ drinking from the bathroom tub faucet or kitchen sink faucet. she will beg for water, she will then drink to the point of vomiting…
My kittens demand water from the tap whenever I walk towards the bathroom. I will sometimes give them some, but won’t let it run continuously. You will have to monitor how much seems reasonable to you and stop the water. That’s not cruel since she should have plenty of access to fresh water of her own whenever she wants, right? Often I will have to pick up the kittens and place them on the floor outside of the bathroom to let them know that there’s no more treats for them right now. They understand, sort of. Well, they are kittens. Diabetes and kidney disease have apparently been ruled out by the normal blood chemistries, so do I just have an obsessive kitty?
That’s almost a definition of a cat. should we think about kitty prozac?
Not unless your vet recommends it first. I would be very hesitant to give any medicine of any kind to a cat unless the vet said it was necessary. anytime anyone goes upstairs she’ll run up in the hopes we’ll be using the bathroom, so she can beg for water. she sleeps on the toilet all nite and jumps in the tub when someone comes to the bathroom late at nite… and she’ll sit in the tub and wait for someone to come, when she hears footsteps coming toward the bathroom
Sounds familiar, except mine sleep in my room. But when I go towards the bathroom, they will jump on the toilet seat cover and the bathroom sink. They’ve learned that "pose" of a tall cat statue with the tail wrapped around their feet. Quite cute. cat otherwise seems shiny, healthy and very content. she is at an acceptible weight.
This is the most important sign that she’s fine. —
