Why Is My Cat Not Eating ?

If your cat is not eating and has not been eating for at least a day or two, please call your vet right away. There’s not much to worry about if your cat skips a meal now and again especially if your cat is a mouser and generally enjoys a mouse or other small creature for a snack. However, cats that skip multiple meals in a row usually do so because they are sick, they are in pain, or they are having trouble with their teeth or gums. Some cats will even skip meals if they are bored with their food or are insisting for a particular food. You can switch out your cat’s food to see if that helps. You may also want to try serving a soft food in case the problem is teeth or gum related. If this still doesn’t work then your veterinarian Bend OR may need to examine your cat.
