I have noticed for about a week now lilly is sleeping flthrough me dishing up her food where shes normally wrapping around my legs meowing for speedy delivery she goes and eats the food abour 10-20 minutes later though slow picky eatting. She gets fed a variety of wet in either jely or gravy and rhe odd pate style. Now shes not lost weight in actual fact shes put it on as well as grown some! But her third eyelid is showing. I'm thinking maybe dehydration as shes fine in every other aspect just a bit lazy and sleepy and when I syringe fed her some water she purred like crazy

Shes confirmed my suspicions that its dehydration after syringe feeding water and adding warm water to some gravy food shes become alot more active within an hour batting sisal mice around and pouncing on them will be adding water to her food from now on to keep her hydrated

I'm glad to hear that she's perked up some.  My thoughts would be that there must be an underlying issue that is happening to put her off her food in the first place.  When did she have her last checkup?  I only say this as a few months ago my cat Reilly had this issue and it turns out he was battling a virus.
