Unfortunately, there are a bunch of reasons a cat, especially a stray cat, could lose weight. The most likely causes are food insecurity (and cats eat less in the summer anyway) and/or worms.
I really don't think the series will be necessary - you would absolutely know if a cat had bitten and broken skin (I was bitten on the finger and bled a ton, and then had a scar for awhile) and the cat sounds healthy and fine anyway.
