Title: Both cats not eating now
Post by: Smudgey on October 17, 2009, 19:50:05 PM
Help any suggestions Abby is normally the hoover and eats everything is on a diet has been for a while
Zak has been off colour for a week went to vets and got Lax a past
Some one been sick a few times assumed it was zak now not so sure
but both cats only eating a small amount not much at all
Wat do peeps think both are drinking ok and normally eat ok
I was wondering if maybe theres a bug going around although they r both indoors only we do have a cat we feed outside and he was off colour refusing food last week

It's possible if you've not altered their food etc but I'd probably let the vet check them out if they aren't improving x

Hope they've perked up today, if not then probably best to get them checked over.  Let us know how they get on  :hug:

If you have just put the heating on that could be a reason and I have had both birmans off food but they are quite old and sooooo sensitive to everything around them.

they have both eaten more today
Zak has already been to the vets
and thinking about it we've had no sickness for few nights now which i put down to furballs but it doesn't normally put them off their food lol
Abby is on hills rd for weight loss and has been doing really well and it was just as though she was bored with it and would happily wolf down anything else
they have both had good sleep and brush and eaten so i'll see how it goes
Thanks for the concern
I really get paranoid when they r under the weather

Does he steal the r/d? That could make him constipated, bloated and off food, lax a past a good move for him if he does

No but he does like the biscuits but i have read somewhere that they r good cos lots of fibre
But anyway they r both getting better i think
still a little picky but i guess i will have to persevere
Zak now hates the Lax a past he used to love it now they both run when i get the tube
have been puttin on their paws and now need to clean my kitchen windows !!!!!!!
Cos they flicked it off lol
