Help! My Cat Refuses to Eat!

Your cat approaches its feeding dish, sniffs and walks away with disdain. Your cat likes a particular food one day and refuses to eat it the next. You give in and change your cat’s diet, which may reinforce your cat’s finicky ways. A strategy for winning the battle of mealtime wills combines a proper feeding program and strict monitoring of your pet’s feeding habits.

What cat lovers are saying

I had a similar problem with a stray cat (had a liver problem) and before the vet would even see him he stayed at a local kennel for 10 days and ended up having to be put to sleep - too far along and filled up with a gallon of fluid. I hope the cat in the article was able to be helped. Our stray was eating real good but the weight gain was all the fluid he was carrying around. – Donna Bechdel

So sorry to hear aboat your cat,first of all try an other vet.Dr.Mills @Hillendales animal Hosp.is a great one which might help you.Also try Hills science diet they have dry or wet food for all kinds of conditions.Good luck Margarete – mararete apatterson
