10 month old siamese wont eat
Hi,
we went to met a siamese kit yesterday and we were a bit concerned when we saw her. she was cowering in a cat carrieran d upon picking her up we noticed several scabs (which we think are from being tasted by something else). we just took her because we thought she was not in a good situation. we have two other cats and we expected a bit of an issue at first, and this was true. we locked up the other cats to let the new one wonder around, but she found the first tight spot to carwl into and stayed there shikering. we found that she would stay with us if we "swaddled" her under a blanket or similar covering. she looks healthy, cool ears, but dry nose, is some what animated with her head sticking out of the coverings, but she wont eat. she has licked a bot of cream and milk off her nose, but wont take cat food or ham or other yummies...it has been about a day since we have had her. comments? tia, peter in CT |

She thrived for years on Science Diet kibble plus Friskies canned turkey and giblets. Purrs that your cat will feel more secure and gain her appetite. MLB |

You should put the new kitten in a confined area and let the others get used to her by sniffing under the door. She's freaking out from too much new strange place. A spare bathroom is ideal, especially if there is a cupboard under the sink she can hide in. She'll eat when she feels safe. You might speed up the process by getting some cheap canned mackeral. Put a small amount in a dish, rub some on your hands before petting her. |

Is she drinking? Dehydrated? How are her gums? Do you have the means to take her temperature? Have you left her alone with soft food? If you know she is healthy and not dehydrated, it may just take a bit of time for her to relax. Try warming some wet food to about 100F, try leaving her alone with that in a small area with good light (no shadows), and no other animals. Keep her litter at least 6-10 feet from her food - preferably not in the same room. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

we have two other cats and we expected a bit of an issue at first, and this was true. More than "a bit." Introducing a new cat to an already established cat or group almost always brings on stress problems. Be a good facilitator to all involved.
