Questions about my cat

[Madel]

Hello! 8 years ago, we adopted a 4 month old kitten. She’s the sweetest cat ever. She got along with our other cats very well, and she was always very healthy. This was until about a year ago. She started picking off the fur in her belly and back legs. We tried to stop this by buying cat grass, changing the food, buying new toys, but it didn’t work. She stopped for a while, but recently we’ve noticed she’s been loosing a lot of weight recently. We haven’t had any changes in the food, environment, and our other cats leave her alone. We’ve started feeding her in a separate room and added supplements and a special canned food to help her gain weight. We can’t afford a vet atm, so I thought I’d ask here. Any tips? Thank you!

Edit: also, a notable thing is that the cat she was close with as a kitten passed away when she was 2, it was a few years ago and I’m not sure if that’s what’s wrong

If you havnt already I would suggest taking her to the vet. Looks like you’ve addressed boredom and stress possibilities, she could have something going on internally that’s not getting fixed by diet changes

We’re struggling a bit financially, but it’s the plan once we can afford it!
