i need help with my cat.
So my cat (boy cat, purebred cat) turns 6 this year. He’s an energetic cat, but at the same time he’s lazy, and clingy. Back at his old house, there were many many kittens that weren’t properly taken care of, so when we got him, he had worms. We did get that taken care of, pretty much immediately so now he doesn’t have them anymore, and hasn’t had them for a very long time. Since we went to the vet to fix that problem. (we got him when he was around 5-8 months, i’m not that sure but he was a small cat with big eyes back then.) So till this day, he’s very skinny. Very thin. He has these little pits on the side of his stomach that are a little deep (which causes the skinniness) , but he eats A LOT. Like for example if his bowl is full in the morning (8.30A.M) , when it’s around 1P.M or so, he’s already eaten more than half of it, and he does this multiple times a day. He also does this: I watch him eat, so we could go cuddle or play, he eats, i pet him for a moment, thinking he’s finished eating, but he goes back to eat. He does that 3-4 times in the span of 10-15 minutes. He also drinks a lot of water, and drinks it all at once usually. But the thing i’m worried about is that his fur, or skin, smells horrible. It’s not like a walking pile of poop but every time he jumps on my bed where i’m laying, i definitely notice a slight odor. At first i thought he just somehow rolled in his own poop or litterbox, but this has been going on for like 1-2 months. Today, i smelt his fur and it smelt so bad that i had an actual reaction to it. And you definitely notice the smell when your close enough to him. He also leaves a slight stench to the blankets that he lays on. Also something that might not be anything but around early 2023 his tail was balding a little bit. But then the fur came back so i thought nothing of it. He also hasn’t had a fever, but i guess he’s thrown up atleast 2 times this month if i remember correctly. Anyone know what’s going on?
