Your cat is still showing signs of hyperthyroidism, so she needs a higher dose of methimazole. If she can't handle a higher dose, and some can't take methimazole at all, speak to your vet about giving your cat a lithium salt. I use a lithium carbonate suspension, starting at 30mg twice a day. Also, give the cat as much food as she wants, including lots of fat such as butter or drippings, as she is burning up calories faster than she is taking them in, leading to weight loss.
