If a cat suddenly stops eating cat food, it may be because the cat food has gone bad, so the cat will not eat the cat food. Secondly, it may be that the owner feeds the cat too much canned or meat food, causing the cat to be picky about food, so it does not like to eat cat food. In addition, cats may not eat cat food when they are sick, and may be accompanied by other symptoms, such as listlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, etc. If abnormalities are found, the owner should take the cat to the pet hospital for examination and treatment in time.
1. Cat food has gone bad
Cats’ sense of smell is very sensitive. If the cat food is left out for too long and causes the cat food to go bad, the cat will not eat it. Therefore, it is recommended that owners prepare fresh cat food for their cats every day, and do not put too much at one time, otherwise the cat will not eat it in two days.
2. Picky eaters
If the cat simply does not eat cat food, but eats other foods very deliciously, and does not have any other abnormal symptoms, then the cat may be a picky eater. In this regard, owners can try to add some foods that cats usually like to eat, such as meat, canned foods, snacks, etc., and then gradually reduce the amount of food until the cat only eats cat food.
3. Causes of the disease
If the cat not only refuses to eat cat food, but is also accompanied by abnormal symptoms such as listlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., it may be that it is not eating because of illness. , diseases such as colds and gastroenteritis will affect cats’ appetite. At this time, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time to determine the specific cause of the disease before treatment.
