That may be why it isnt gaining any weight. It may have worms, coccidia or giardia.You can buy wormer at your local stores. Follow the directions as they say. If you think it has worms, when it uses the bathroom check its feces and see if there is any worms in it. Sometimes when a cat has worms it causes weight loss. If this dont help i would call the vet because it might have intestinal problems or problems with its bawls. Also you can order online medications for worms at www.1800petmeds.com
