REASONS YOUR CAT MAY STOP EATING SYMPTOMS & PRECAUTIONS
Today’s post is about a very important matter, and that is when a cat completely stops eating. Make sure you read till the end if your cat has stopped eating its food!
When a cat is brought into a new home, it’s going to be very stressed and so may stop eating. Another reason can be when a female cat is pregnant or delivering babies, it will stop eating. This is normal.
However, if you’ve had your cat for quite some time, it’s not pregnant and it stops eating (not even its favorite food!), and you notice it starts becoming really weak in a day or so, you need to take it to the vet! Get it checked because there could be so many things wrong. For example, it could be affected by viral diseases, food poisoning, etc.
If your kitty is eating only a small amount of food, it could be that you changed its food around, and it doesn’t like the food. Cats that eat dry food don’t end up liking chicken. That is why, and I’ve mentioned this several times, it’s best to give your cat a variety of food. Give it a lot of protein, at least a piece of chicken, daily. A cat that eats a variety of food will have more chance of surviving than a cat that only sticks to one specific type of food.
Please DONT gives your cat dry food only. Give it lots of protein, and make sure you start from when it’s a kitten. Or else, it’ll become used to having dry food and then won’t have chicken.
When cats go to a new home, they will become stressed and not eat anything. In this situation, you need to give it time to settle down. Give it lots of love and ensure it is as comfortable as possible. When the cat adapts to its new home and environment, it will start eating again.
Some cats become scared and so stop eating. Maybe they saw another animal and so became frightened. Try keeping any sort of hazard away from your cat!
In the summer, you may notice your cat not eating as much as it used to. It may sleep a lot more than before. This is normal and you don’t need to worry.
