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

My 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
