Suddenly stop eating cat food that has been constantly eating
Your cat suddenly stops eating the cat food it has been constantly eating, which may be due to the cat food being unchanged for too long and has gone bad, or because the cat is tired of the current cat food and has become picky. In addition, if your cat is sick, its appetite will also decrease, and it may accompanied by symptoms such as lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea. Therefore, owners need to pay attention to observation. If the cat shows the above symptoms, they should go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
- Cat food has gone bad
Cat's sense of smell is very sensitive. If they smell that the cat food has gone bad, they will stop eating it. Therefore, it is recommended that owners follow the principle of feeding cats with small amounts multiple times, and not to leave the cat food out for more than a day. This can ensure the freshness of the cat food and avoid waste.
- Picky eating
If your cat always eats the same kind of cat food, it will eventually get tired of it and become picky. In this case, owners can try feeding their cats some snacks, such as freeze-dried, canned, and cat strips. If the cat is willing to eat snacks, it is likely to be picky. At this point, the owner can consider switching to a new flavor or a new brand of cat food. When changing the cat food, be sure to gradually transition to avoid causing stomach discomfort and diarrhea in the cat.
- Sickness
If your cat not only stops eating cat food but also refuses to eat other things it usually likes, and its energy level decreases, it is likely due to a decrease in appetite caused by illness. In this case, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital immediately to check what is causing the illness and then proceed with treatment.
