Hi everyone. Two weeks ago my girlfriend and I adopted a feral cat. He is about a year old and his rescuer had been keeping him in an isolated room with his mother and siblings for at least a few months before we got him. The rescuer had been handling him once a day by forced petting and...

He finally ate! That is the punchline anyway. The gory details follow below if you feel like reading them. We took him to the vet and they checked him out. There were no obvious physical problems that would cause appetite loss. They said that he was probably just really stressed in the new...

I know... I guess he is too scared. I will post as soon as something happens. Thanks for your support.

I tried to feed him some more wet food, and I am trying Gerber baby food right now. If he doesn't eat it then I will take him to a nearby vet.

Another night passed and he has not eaten any noticeable amount of food. I don't think he has eaten at all. Overnight we left a bowl of water and dry food in the bathroom, and in the bedroom, along with a meow mix in the bedroom. Can he starve himself? It has been pretty much 4 days.

There is a kennel with a blanket to lie on in the bedroom, but I think he is too scared to come out of the bathroom at the moment. He is hiding between the wall and the toilet right now.

He is showing no interest in the food. He also hissed twice when I walked in there. Should I close the bathroom door and leave him alone in there for a while? I am afraid that he will starve himself like this.

He was eating dry food actually. It was Purina Kitty Chow.

Nothing yet He is hiding between the bathroom door and the wall with the food in front of him. Should I just leave him alone with it for a long time?

I just got out the tuna & shrimp flavor and mixed some tuna juice into it. It is real stinky... hopefully he goes for it.

It is called "Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance". I think the flavor is Turkey and Giblet. Should I try a different brand/flavor?

Thanks for your quick response. I tried this earlier today and twice yesterday. I put some tuna on top of wet cat food. He will look at it then ignore it.

Let me begin by first giving some background info. My girlfriend and I adopted a feral cat three days ago. We named him Oliver. He is about one year old and has previously seen a vet to receive shots and flea treatment (although he was reintroduced to his untreated mother so now he has fleas...
