Multiple cats, female loses appetite...
Might have found an interesting solution to my new calico female cat losing her appetite. She and my male were playing well for a while, but he has been getting rough. I haven't been spending much time with them recently, that might be one problem. The calico takes a few bites and then walks away from the food. Really frustrating. One of her kittens was the same way. A cat I had for a very long time lost her appetite. Also possibly do to the presence of a male cat. To solve this calico's problem... I feed them three or four times per day. At that time, for a few minutes, I lie down next to her food where she eats. Really obvious, seeing her lookup and around periodically. She is afraid she's going to get mugged for food, or something. And it's working, nearly 100%. She's eating much more. Still need a day or so to be confident in the results, but it follows the appearance of the thing being worried. I suppose it could happen with a male cat too, if there was a big enough tomcat threatening it. |
