CATDOLL : Cat doesn't like to eat

Reasons why cats don’t like to eat:

1. The food bowl is too dirty. If the food bowl is too dirty, their cleanliness will make them not like to eat. Clean the food bowl for the cat every day after the cat finishes eating.

2. Dental problems are the most common cause. Generally, cats only drink water and don’t like to eat because they can’t chew food due to tooth pain.

3. Digestive system problems: If a cat has reflux and vomits food, it means that the cat's food is not digested. The cat may have too many hairballs in the stomach, or may have eaten foreign objects by mistake, which can cause intestinal blockage and lead to a loss of appetite.

4. Side effects of taking medicine or getting vaccinated. If your cat has taken medicine or just got vaccinated, it will generally lose its appetite.

5. Stress and anxiety. Cats are very sensitive animals, and stress and anxiety can seriously damage their appetite.

6. Parasites. Many cat owners associate parasites with cats becoming thinner. However, in some cases, parasites can also cause cats to lose their appetite.

7. Picky eaters. Cats sometimes don’t eat simply because they are picky eaters.

How to make your cat love eating:

1. Feed your cat at a fixed time, place and quantity. The owner can place a cat food bowl for the cat at a fixed time and place every day, add a certain amount of food, and let the cat get used to eating at this time.

2. Don’t give cats snacks at will. Compared with cat food, the taste of snacks will attract cats more. But owners cannot give cats snacks at will, which will cause cats to become picky eaters and not like to eat. It is more appropriate to give cats snacks as training rewards.
