Hair Loss and Excessive Urination? Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance in Cats
Feline hormonal (endocrine) imbalance is not one disease but a sign of disorders such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, Cushing's syndrome, or hypothyroidism. Hyperthyroidism brings ravenous appetite with weight loss, thirst, and overactivity; diabetes causes the 'three polys plus weight loss' and weak hind legs; hypothyroidism shows as lethargy, weight gain, and a dry, thinning coat. See a vet for blood and urine tests if you notice these signs.

Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD): Causes, Signs and Treatment
Feline lower urinary tract syndrome (FLUTD) is divided into obstructive and non-obstructive types. Obstructive means the urethra is fully or partially blocked. Within 2–3 days of complete blockage, urine retained in the bladder flows backward to the kidneys; this back-pressure suppresses glomerular filtration, causing waste and toxins to accumulate in the blood and leading to uremia. If not treated within 3–6 days, the cat can die. The non-obstructive type is milder; with prompt catheterization and proper daily care, it largely resolves on its own within a week.
