I am hoping someone can help me and my cat. First a little history:
Moo is a short haired black and white(hence the name) tabby. We've had him since a kitten and he will be 4yrs(people yrs) in May. About a month ago he threw up and had diareha(spelling?) but just for a day or two...then he seemed better. Lately though, he is not interested in his food...he still comes for his morning feed but just looks at it sniffs but doesn't eat it.
We have tried a few things:
-new dry food - he ate a whole bowl when we got it that evening...then the next day wouldn't touch it
-canned food - same as above..but we actually had to feed it to him on a spoon and lead him into his dish..which he eventually ate out of..but not all - next day no interest
- he eats hard and soft treats no problem so I don't think it's a sore mouth or teeth
- getting desperate, I fed him a can of tuna...which he ate and I tried to mix in a little of the cat food and he ate a little but not a lot
-this morning - he wouldn't his food so I gave him tuna again
Another note...my boyfriend moved out last week and he was pretty close to Moo...I've read that Moo could be depressed and that is why he is not eating??
I would think if it is a medical thing that he wouldn't eat anything or am I wrong? Is it time for a vet visit? He seems healthy otherwise...drinking, peeing, pooping, playing a little and still likes to sleep with me close..very affectionate.
I don't know what else to do? Should I just keep feeding him tuna and slowly introduce his dry food again? I'm worried he won't be getting all of the nutrients he needs just eating tuna.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lisa and Moo |  |  | |  |
