Firsty I would consult a vet, but have you also wormed him recently? he could have a worm burden and this will make him ravenous as the worms will be eating the food he swallows so he gets nothing from it. Ofcourse there could be other reasons too.

He could also have hyperthyroidism, very common with older cats. You need to consult with a vet. Hope he gets on ok. X

welcome to catsey, hope you get your hungry boy sorted out.
Rule out worms then look into Hyperthyroidism as the two previous posters have suggested.
Let us know how you get on

Hi Gunner and welcome. I hope you get your cat's problem sortedout quickly. What is his name? I'm sure he is a beautiful boy.

Hii would go with thyroid problems too. Its very easy to diagnose, simple bloodtest & inexpensive treatment

Hi gunner - can't offer any other ideas to above. I would get him to the vet and find out what's wrong.
