Cat: Refusing to eat

 

Cat: Refusing to eat

A feline that no longer eats is not a very good sign. Indeed, an anorexic state occurring suddenly in an animal, as greedy as the cat, is a warning sign that should not be overlooked.

Often a loss of appetite can only reflect a disturbance directly related to physical, medical, or other factors that are not found in the medical setting.

However, the danger of an anorexic state in your pet stems from the fact that if, through ignorance or negligence, you do not take such symptoms seriously, the condition of your small animal can quickly deteriorate, and put into play its vital prognosis.

Cat that no longer eats: the causes

Like dogs, cats can suffer from occasional inappetence. Your feline may, however, go to his bowl, sniff, and walk away or meow in front of it, without touching it, or he may show indifference to its contents.

Indeed, the main causes for a loss of appetite in your cat are very numerous, here are some of the most common reasons that can explain and clarify why your pet is abstaining from food:

The presence of painful oral discomfort caused by tartaric build-up, gingivostomatitis, or an inflammatory lesion of dental origin.

Kidney failure, heart failure and hyperthyroidism.

Impaired smell during a common cold sore infection.

Poisoning by a toxic product, swallowing a tiny object or a ball of hair, in short, anything that can obstruct the digestive system and interfere with the occlusal transit in cats.

Senescence, and joint disorders such as arthritis, or the change in nutritional needs related to advanced age Stress, anxiety, depression: the cat is particularly sensitive to any change in its environment, habits , food, moving or even the arrival of another animal, or a new person.

Remember that kittens need to be trained but that adult cats can already be set in their ways. You can find many breeds of kittens to choose from at the local cat show and you can look for them at your local humane society as well. These cats need homes and these organizations are usually full to the brim with them. 

For those that have problems with mice, cats make a great natural system for taking care of them. This means you won t have to deal with messy traps or dangerous poisons around your home. Many cat owners claim they haven t come across a mouse in their home for years with this line of defense. Cats are very precious and beautiful animals as well. 

A good cat carrier should be both safe and comfortable for your cat, it should have enough room inside for a fully grown cat to have some freedom of movement, and your cat should be able to both stand up and turn around in side its cage. Air holes on all sides are also needed as this allows the air to fully circulate and your cat to look out. 

First of all, cats (like their human owners) need a high quality diet. This means the best types of protein, fats, carbs, and the less preservatives and chemical additives, the better. Most of the research available online does not compare specific brands of cat food, as much as specific ingredients to feed your cat, and which to stay away from! 

Then remove all other cat litter boxes, so the cat will only find litter in one place. Another thought is to cover the plants on the floor, so the cat will not be able to dig in the dirt. With the device, that you get, there could be some type of fragrances to put on the toilet device to help attract the cat to that area.

First of all, cats (like their human owners) need a high quality diet. This means the best types of protein, fats, carbs, and the less preservatives and chemical additives, the better. Most of the research available online does not compare specific brands of cat food, as much as specific ingredients to feed your cat, and which to stay away from! 

To promote their health and well being encourage your cat to drink more water. Drinking fountains for cats which re-circulate water and provide fresh tasting filtered water are a great idea. Like humans, pets require water as a vital element for survival. Water constitutes approximately 70% of a cat's or dog's body. 

Each bred that the CFA recognizes is in one of these groups. They must win first place in their breed and then their class before they can compete for the title of best in show. The Championship Class are those cats who are established cat breeds. The breeds in the Provisional Class have been more recently established. 

Many people watch in sadness as their cat destroys virtually everything that he can get his claws into. You can improve this behavior. To do so, you need to know why he is doing what he is doing. Why Scratching? Cats were hunters. They needed those sharp teeth to help them to climb trees and to leap down on their prey. 

If the fleas are in your house, as they probably are, then you will need to use a powder or spray for the bedding and upholstered furniture too. As a last resort, you can use a flea and tick bomb in your home. But, in this case, the animals will need to stay out of your home for at least 24 hours. Fleas are a serious concern and you need to keep them from affecting your pet. 

For a number of reasons all your cats must be spayed/neutered. If possible arrange to bath your new kitten at a friends house before you take it home, this will neutralize kitty's odor, and go some way to prevent unsettling your cat. A short isolation period is necessary when introducing a new kitten.

Cats really should derive the majority of their nutritional needs from protein, so cat foods that are high in carbohydrates may not necessarily be the best for them. Interestingly enough, many of the premium brands of cat food offer exactly what most cats need, and aren t necessarily more expensive in the long run. 

Although your cat is not likely to be pouncing on their dinner anymore, they still instinctively need to sharpen their claws and that is exactly what they are doing on your furniture. The scratching that they do is a way of trimming their nails and it removes the old outer part of the claws. Another reason they are ruining your home is because they know it to be their territory.

A kitten should be fed throughout the day 4 times with a small amount of food each meal, reducing to 3 times a day at 3 months old, then at 6-8 months 2 meals per day. Older cats (over 12 months) should only be fed twice in the day (usually morning and early evening). Cats groom themselves, but using a soft brush on the cat, especially the long haired variety, will help to cut down the number of hairballs in the cat s stomach, which are caused by them licking / grooming themselves. 

Furthermore, because a cat will eat less of the high end cat food, their waste will be reduced. This can cut down on the frequency of litter replacement and litter box related chores. Another aspect of cat food to be considered is the quality of the protein in the food. Because of the way many pet food companies describe the meat in the food, it can be difficult to figure out exactly what the difference between chicken flavored , and chicken dinner is.
