Hi kris,

I really think you should take this cat to see a vet as soon as possible. A stray cat could have picked up all sorts of things and it really is best to have her fully checked out and treated in one go.

her behavior could be caused by worms but equally it could be caused by being anxious ie. eat as much as possible because not sure if they will
get another meal.

It really is better to have her checked by a vet than to try and guess what could be wrong, it will be healthier for her and also perhaps for you too, as you don't know if she has got parasites etc.

best wishes Kate
