Hi
Well there are several illnesses which have these symptoms from heart conditions, to diabetes. However in my experience one of the main causes is a problem with the thyroid. My own cat had this and it is very common. I have written a page about it for more details here
cat-thyroidMy advice is to take her to see a vet as soon as you can. If she loses too much weight then muscle will start to be weakened too. better to get a proper diagnosis and the right treatment.
Hope she is better soon
Kate
