Cats that don’t eat chicken breast may be because the chicken breast is not fresh or they are not interested in chicken breast. At this time, it is recommended that the owner should not continue to force the cat to eat this chicken breast. You can choose to cook fresh chicken breast for the cat or give the cat some food. Other things, such as duck, beef, eggs, freeze-dried, etc. In addition, if the cat is accompanied by other abnormal symptoms, such as listlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, sneezing, runny nose, cough, etc., it may be a loss of appetite caused by the cat's illness. It is recommended that the owner take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time. Then symptomatic treatment is given based on the examination results.

1. Chicken breast is not fresh

Cats do not like to eat stale food. If the chicken breast prepared by the owner for the cat is not fresh, the cat will naturally refuse to eat. Therefore, owners should try to give their cats fresh and nutritious food, and try not to give them stale and spoiled food to avoid causing gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, and vomiting.

2. Not interested in chicken breast

If the cat has been eating cat food and has never eaten chicken breast, then the cat will feel uncomfortable when it just eats chicken breast. I'm so interested that I don't want to eat. In addition, it is also possible that the cat is a picky eater and finds the owner's food unpalatable. The owner can try to chop the boiled chicken breast into puree and put a little bit in the cat's food, so that the cat can slowly adapt to it.

3. Sick

If the cat used to love eating chicken breast, but suddenly stops eating chicken breast, the owner should pay attention to it. It is likely that the cat is sick. If this is the case, the owner should also pay attention to observe the cat's mental state, whether its urine and feces are normal, and whether there are symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, sneezing, runny nose, cough, etc. If any abnormalities are found, it is recommended to go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible. So as not to delay the condition.
