If your cat does not eat

Such a condition, when your cat refuses food, is called cat anorexia. This condition can be caused by a number of pathological conditions or diseases. Therefore, you should know exactly what causes caused the refusal of your pet from eating, and how you can help him in this situation.

At best, if your cat does not eat, she just may not like the food. It is much worse if giving up food is a consequence of some kind of cat disease.

So, first we try to seduce the animal with goodies.

You should offer the cat the most seductive foods to see how she will react to treats that most cats can not refuse.

Try these techniques:

Lightly heat the food and give the cat to try it with a finger, you can also try to feed it from a syringe with the needle removed. It is very important that the animal itself can sniff the food properly. If your cat does not eat from the finger itself, you can try to put a slice of food directly on her tongue, slightly opening her mouth. If she resists, then do not force her to eat. If the taste and flavor of eating a cat like it, then it will start eating itself. If not, then we proceed further.

You can try to flavor the food with a natural flavor enhancer such as Kitty Kaviar, which is made from dried tuna. You can offer the cat a little cream cheese. In general, we must take into account that it is your cat that loves most.

Trying to lure a cat, you need to open the food on the floor, sitting next to the cat, since these are very curious creatures, and so they may well show interest in food.

Try to give the cat unfrozen fresh food.

You can try to feed it from a teaspoon, as some pets prefer to eat just like that.

Many cats are ready to eat from the finger that food that they would not smell, if it was in a bowl of food. The best food for feeding a cat from a finger is a moist canned pate. This method of feeding helps when you need to feed a sick cat.

With your index finger, pick up a piece of pate and offer it to your pet. In case he eats it - it's good. If your cat does not even eat with a finger - open the animal's mouth a bit or shove the food under the upper lip. Having tasted food, the cat will start eating itself.

Feed the cat with a finger should be no less than three times a day.

If the case is more severe, then syringe feeding is used - using a plastic syringe, of course, without a needle. It happens that several days of such feeding help the animal to return to independent eating. However, sometimes it takes a long time to feed this method. Everything will depend on the state of your cat and the degree of your love for it.

If your cat does not eat and does not drink, looking at your tricks, surely it shows her illness. You should show her to the vet. Prolonged refusal of food can mean that your cat is sick. Note that stubborn refusal of food from overweight cats can cause fatty hepatosis, so they should add taurine to their food.

There are about 450 diseases of cats, which can be accompanied by a refusal of food.

These are diseases of cats, such as: irritated stomach, anemia, feline anorexia, cancer, diabetes, chronic constipation, dehydration, impaired thyroid activity, jaw problems, kidney disease, dental and oral diseases, inflammation in the upper respiratory tract and paranasal sinuses, Problems with the pharynx and many others.

So, if your cat does not eat, and you could not make her eat by replacing food, offering seductive delicacies, then this may mean having some kind of disease in your pet. Therefore, if you can not cope with this problem on your own, the cat should be immediately shown to the veterinarian, since delay can have a very negative impact on the health of the animal.
