Re: off food


I can't remember if Tigs is an indoor or ourdoor cat, sorry If he goes outside he may have caught and eaten some prey and it has upset his tum a bit. Cassie is like that, she will eat all sort of insects....and then wonder why she doesn't want her food later

Re: off food


Hot/sultry weather can put cats off eating - so can a tasty insect/mouse meal as Mags described). As long asTigs is drinking a little water I wouldn't worry.
If the ears/pads are hot then maybe suspect a temperature and consider a vet visit tomorrow but I suspect all will be well by then. Hope so anyway

Re: off food


I noticed in the past that my lot reduce their eating in warm weather. Is he still drinking? Maybe a little tinned tune or salmon will wet his appetite?

Re: off food


My 2 are not eating their full daily quota either at the moment. As they're very bouncy and drinking as usual, I'm not worried. I suspect the warmer weather is the cause, they did this during April when it was also very warm.
