Cat health advice

Question

Hi everyone,

I'd join the forum as I've got a potential issue with my cat's health.

My cat won't eat. I mix of dry and wet cat food. I vary it each month because she can get bored with some stuff easily. One month ago we moved. Maybe that's the reason?

Have you tried nutritional yeast? Most cats (and all dogs) love it and I got mine to eat by sprinkling it over dry food and mixing in in her wet food. You can find it at health food stores or online. If that doesn't work most cats like tuna (and I have seen vegan tuna that might work). Or possibly Gardein vegan fish although it may have too much oil. Some cats get stressed out from moving, my second cat wouldn't eat for one week when I first got her. I wish you all the luck in the world with your sweet cat.

If your cat isn't eating, it's usually a sign that they are sick. I would have a vet check her out. I have 4 cats and if they don't eat for a few days or very little, it's usually upset stomach. More than that and its likely an illness. Outdoor cats eat grass to help with digestion. Hope this helps your kitty. Good luck.

I feed my cat with wet food with the addition of wheat cereals. It's all right with the cat.

Hi there! We just moved too and it takes the kitties about a week to two to not feel the stress of moving and acclimate to their new surroundings.
Have you tried canned pumpkin (no spices) just plain canned pumpkin. Or maybe some baby food? I hope your kitty starts feeling good very soon! Best of luck in your new home!

pets not eating could be anything from being picky to a serious medical problem.  If this persists, probably should take the cat to the vet.

Also, cats really don't like their food placed near their water.  It is best to create a good amount of distance between the water bowl and the food.

And, of course, placement is important in a variety of ways.  They tend to like more secluded places with less foot traffic and less noise.  Generally pets and all animals feel vulnerable when eating, so they like quiet places out of the way, where they feel they can control their enviroment.

Dr. Karen Shaw Becker is a progressive vet.  She uses natural treatments for pets.  You can Google her and see what she says about various pet behaviors.

I found one article from her about cats not eating:
