Cat Appetite Losses II

While refusing to eat may just be a spur of the moment event, continuous refusal often means that this lack of food consumption extends beyond choice and there is something that is stopping the cat from eating. Pain felt in the body of a cat can often cause trauma and loss of eating habits.

Absence of appetite is especially dangerous if it extends to refusal to ingest water for hydration and can lead to serious issues in a short term. Observation and diagnosis are an important part to treating this condition and various aspects should be under review when reporting to a local vet.
