He is still at 11 lbs so he's not losing/gaining weight. It's spring time, so natural to shed lots of fur.
Any suggestions?

A quick trip to the vet for some blood work would rule out any of the usual conditions that can result in an increased appetite, like diabetes or hyperthyroid. I can't remember, when was the last time Forest had a senior wellness exam?
