Hyperthyroid & Hella Hangry

Your cat’s eating like a linebacker, yelling at ghosts at 3AM, and losing weight faster than your New Year’s resolutions? Sounds like a case of feline hyperthyroidism—and no, Whiskers isn’t just being dramatic (okay, maybe a little dramatic).

In this episode of Feces and Laughter, we dive into the wild world of overactive thyroids in older cats. We’ll break down the science (don’t worry, we’ll keep it spicy), walk you through the chaos of symptoms, and explore treatment options from radioactive iodine therapy to the joys of daily medication wrangling.

Learn why hyperthyroidism wreaks havoc on everything from kidneys to eyeballs, how to spot the early signs, and why pretending your cat is just “quirky” isn’t gonna cut it. Bonus: we explain why annual bloodwork isn’t a scam—it’s just self-defense.

Whether your cat is newly diagnosed or you’re just here for the poop jokes and pathology, this episode’s got you covered.

Tune in, take notes, and for the love of tuna treats—get your cat’s thyroid checked.
