Thanks, everyone, for the kind words about Niobe.
As
james_nicoll has observed, sometimes in a multi-cat household you learn surprising things about a cat only after she's gone, and in this case, it's that she was probably eating more than half of the food consumed by all three of our cats. Her thyroid troubles may have been a contributor.
(She was also a shameless thief. Just a few months ago, she managed to pull a raw pork chop entirely out of its plastic-wrapped package, which was in turn inside a grocery bag that I'd carelessly left on the kitchen floor while I was hauling more in from the car. I felt almost sorry to take it away from her; she looked so proud.)
