Why won't your cat eat?

Answer 1

Your cat is sick! Get it to the vets now!!! This may be a sign of Diabetes (just had a friend yesterday who's cat had the same symptom and was diagnosed with diabetes. It could be other variables of something wrong so it's best to let your vet diagnose your cat. Be sure you let the vet know how the cat is acting and that it's not drinking or if it urinates a lot or doesn't urinate enough and also that includes bowel movements.

Answer 2

There could be many different reasons why a cat stops eating. Refusing to eat is often a common sign the cat is in pain or feeling unwell, or could just be bored of the food. If you've tried different foods, and it still wont eat within two days, take it to the vet.

Answer 3

The first thing comes to mind is the cat either has been poisoned, or there is something wrong with its mouth (gum disease or a broken tooth can cause extreme pain to a cat). It is highly recommended to take the cat to the vet immediately, as a cat that has lost its appetite and drooling for no obvious reason can be serious.

Answer 4

Explanation for my Question

A few days ago my cat stopped eating or drinking and was throwing up almost every 2 hours with just white foam, yet he will play when we play with him, and purr when we give him his brushing. I took him to the vet and said they couldn't feel anything wrong with him, but they would need to do more tests. I didn't have the money to get x-rays (Since we're going through a Recession and my husband is being laid off). So i took my kitty home and have been syringing him water and food. After 2 days of doing this he looks better,is a little more active and has only thrown up 3 times since. He's peeing but i haven't seen a bowel movement yet. The last one he had was all hair, so my guess is its a hairball that could be lodged in his intestines. We are going to get him some hairball treatment today but does anyone have any opinions to what i can do if it is a digestive obstruction? I am afraid of my kitty dying. No one we know can loan us the money we need, im running out of ideas :(

Answer 5

Some cats drool when they are really happy, relaxed, or even when they sleep; just like some people do. But excessive salivating can also be a sign of the cat having tooth problems. You should take it to a vet for a check up just to be sure.
