feral cats and kittens

i have 3 ferals that i have had outside since they were born gained there trust and fell in love with them noticed for the past couple of days they are not eating they used to wait at back door for me and scuff down the food now its left there all day.what could i do?and would anyone know why?

I suppose they either moved by some reason, or are not longer with us, by any reason.

I understand they were kittens? How old were they? Had they their mom with them?

You cant really do anything.  You CAN try and go around and seek talking sweetly like you used with them, especielly if you know their hidey places.  You can also set up messages Lost  on message boards around your neigbourhood.  Someone has perhaps spontan adopted them. Or they did moved.

Good luck!

Ps.  Contact also the citys Animal Control, they perhaps did a raid on homeless cats.

Contact thus also the pond the citys animal control cooperates with.  It is usually a very high kill place, where they perhaps let them be a few days, and if no one claims them, they are killed off.

So contact them asap, if you want to save and perhaps adopt them.

Were they fixed? If not, they may have gone off to find romance. As Stephan said, though, it sounds more like they were rounded up. If you are interested in adopting them, and having them fixed, contact the shelter/SPCA/Humane Society and inquire if they are there.

Thanks...but there all males and there a year old..there still here they just wont eat..im thinking worms.

Worms make them eat more, usually. You should get some de-wormer for them if it hasn't been done for awhile---outdoor cats should be de-wormed every 3 months or so.

If they aren't eating I'd guess they're getting food somewhere else. Hunting, maybe, or a neighbor is feeding them. If you want to tempt them, maybe try something tastier than their normal food. Canned food in their favorite flavor, maybe a little chicken or something like that.

Willowy, what kind of dewormer should they have?    My vet gave Drontal to put on canned food for Hercules in the past but said it only works for roundworms.   What about tapeworms?

Babynay, could be another feeder but also maybe your fellas are really good hunters, this time of year there's lots of wildlife and young prey animals about.
