plz help whys my cats not eating2007-11-25 12:25:08

I would go buy some good quality cat or kitten food and see what he does. If he's still not eating, take him to the vet. Calicivirus is a common shelter cat ailment and one of the first signs is generally a lack of eating (however lack of appetite can be a symptom of many other illnesses as well). The reason is that calici causes sores in the mouth and throat (sometimes visible, sometimes not if they're far enough down the throat). It is highly contagious (although it's one of the things cat vaccines protect against) and deadly if not treated.

Good luck with your kitty!

Meg - most cats don't like and won't eat people food. People milk isn't good for them either. Ya need to go to a store, decide which brand your gonna pick (cause your gonna have to stick with it) and maybe some kitty milk, if you want. If you hold him and maybe pet him on the head (so he'll feel comforted) try and get him to eat the new food. I thinks thats prolly all he needs.

First, all kittens/cats need something called Taurine in their diet, it is extremely important for their overall health. Please try and get your kitten on a premium brand of cat food and water. You can try any of the popular cat foods, purina one, iams, eukanuba, natural balance, wellness-these are tasty to cats.
