It could be that she is bored with her food. Sometimes cats get tired of eating the same food every day. My cats are especially picky; whenever I go to the pet store, I always buy a few different flavors of each brand of cat food they have, so as to give them as much variety as possible.

The cat might also have a mild respiratory infection, the equivalent of a kitty-kat cold. Cats won't eat unless they can smell their food, so if her sense of smell is being affected by a cold, she won't eat, no matter how hungry she is.

Mild infections like these usually clear up on their own, but you should take the cat to the vet anyway, just to be safe. My suggestion is to try giving her some different kinds of food, and if that doesn't work, make an appointment with your vet.

Infections like these typically clear up on their own, but you still need to take the cat to the vet. A mild respiratory infection is just one possible explanation. Something more serious could potentially be wrong.

It can be something as simple as changing the bowls. Do NOT use plastic dishes. They often have chemical smells that cats do not like. We had a cat almost starve to death because of plastic dishes! They do not like change, such as change in food, location and dishes.

It depends on what kind of cat it is. Lions eat cubs from other dens all the time, but a normal house pet probably wouldn't unless there's something wrong with it. Or it could be starving and eat another cat.

What should you do if your cat won't eat her food after you have started to limit her food?

Keep leaving the food out for a short period of time, like 20 minutes. Eventually your cat will get hungry enough and eat it. If your cat won't eat she must not be hungry. If this continues for a longer period of time, there may be something wrong, and it might be time to contact your vet, but for now just wait.

Your cat has been given synulox even though the vet is unsure what is wrong with the cat but why is he still feeling unwell?

If the vet was unsure of what was wrong with your cat, then maybe the vet gave your cat the wrong kind of medication so it didn't cure your cat. If the veterinarian is unsure of what is wrong with the cat and medicated him anyway, he is obviously incompetant and you need to see a different veterinarian. The wrong type of medication could seriously harm your cat and to prescribe it anyway is irresponsible.
