I'm having the same problem with one of mine recently. Every time I go in the kitchen she's after more food. I've tried worming her as well but it's not helped.

We had this problem with an old cat which started a couple of years ago. It was found to be a thyroid thing. A blood test will show if this is the problem. Ours was put on tablets and then checked. She would just eat and eat. She's 15 now and still with us!

At 10 years old it could well be a thyroid or liver issue, both of which can cause really excessive eating, so it's worth getting her to the vets for a simple blood test which can rule out a number of metabolic and hormonal conditions including both of these, most of which can be managed with medication, prescription food or surgery.
