They should take him to the vet and have him checked for thyroid problems. My girl Freya (now 19) has been on thyroid meds since 2019 and she eats constantly but loses weightHe said that Wyatt was eating well and they didn't know why he seemed to be losing weight.

I'll mention to Sean.Agree.
Or kidney failure, which also causes weight lose in cats.
Chris, kidney failure can be ameliorated by:I'll mention to Sean.
Our buddy Sarge was diagnosed with kidney disease. He wouldn't eat the dry food, only wet, except for Temptations, which he loved. He refused the prescribed food. My wife and I administered Ringers solution via I.V. twice a week for five years (he didn't like that) until his kidneys finally gave up. He was happy throughout all that time and his quality of life was good. His vets were astounded.Chris, kidney failure can be ameliorated by:
1) having plenty of water available at multiple points around the house; and
2) using only dried cat food specifically formulated for aging cats with kidney problems. This is usually available from Vets, and is recommended for all pussycats over about 4-5 y.o.
Our cats, Rosa and Lizzie, both had Royal Canin dried food from about 5 y.o.until their deaths at around 21.5 y.o. While their kidneys were pretty ropey, they lasted the distance! They were both euthanased as a result of strokes, not renal failure.
Dry food available at supermarkets is usually not good for cats.
He was a beautiful boy, Christian.
I would try a newer, better quality filter, Irene.Because it's a relatively expensive lens with a large front element, I had a UV filter on the front since buying it 7 years ago. Today I took off the filter and I do perceive more sharpness even wide open at F/2. I'll just need to treat it with care
