www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-09-16-causes-of-feline-hyperthyroidismStory at-a-glance Hyperthyroidism is extremely common in U.S. cats, especially in kitties over the age of 10 Symptoms include increased appetite, hypertension, frequent vomiting, and hyperactivity Potential causes of the disease include exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, including household products, flame retardant chemicals found in house dust and in fish-flavored cat food as well It’s very important that veterinarians run a comprehensive set of thyroid blood tests in cats suspected of being hyperthyroid Early detection of this disease is important in order to take advantage of natural thyroid balancing protocols vs. surgery, drugs, or another approach that carries side effects My notes: I haven't had a cat who has had this nor shown symptoms. Does your cat have it? What do you do to help them?

Never had any of our cats with any thyroid problem.
