Why do cats lose their appetite?
Cats not eating can have either a medical or an emotional cause. We recommend consulting with your vet to rule out any possible medical causes for this change.
Cats will also eat less when they feel disturbed or insecure.
Many changes may cause your cat's reduced appetite including:
- Travelling or a stay at a cattery disrupts your cat's normal routine
- Changes in the homeย (e.g. new furniture, redecorating) can upset cats
- A recent change in type of food, as it may take time to get used to a new diet
- Competition with other cats for food or water, or even the presence of a dog, can keep your cat away from their food bowl
- Use the FELIWAY Diffuser to help keep your cat feeling comfortable and return to eating normally.
