He's about 14. For the last few months he's become increasingly food obsessed. Been to the vets a couple of times during that period. Just had full bloods - all fine - and heavy duty wormer in case his regular stuff hadn't worked.
He will eat a sachet of food and then shout at me for more. He sits in front of his food bowl looking at me unless he's asleep. In the last month or two he's taken to prowling the kitchen to see what he can find - even in the day time when the dogs are about.
Yesterday he probably had 3 sachets of food (it's quite good food and only meant to use 2-3 a day) plus dried food, plus a bowl of chicken. Came down this morning to find he'd chewed his way into a packet of scones left on the worktop and eaten most of one (then thrown up on the landing).
I always feed him before his brother - he'll eat a sachet then start to go outside. I put food down for his patient brother but hungry cat then turns back and pushes him out of the way to get to the second bowl.
He's not losing weight but he's eating more food then ever to maintain his weight. Any thoughts? He's also becoming quite aggressive over food.
