I had another thread asking a while back for help with a cat that doesn't eat very much when I'm not home. I'm prepping to leave for a week over the holidays, and will not be taking Tempura with me.
Tempura essentially does not eat very much/at all if I leave for travel. It can be wet or dry, she eats a few nibbles (dry is more obvious, since I have an automatic feeder, whatever is dispensed builds up). Even during the workday this is pretty obvious, she won't finish her all food unless I'm literally physically in the house.
I'll be having two housemates taking care of her, which she knows and likes fairly well. I'll be asking them to spend time/play/etc with her and try to hang around in my room when they have time to see if she'll eat more. I was going to go for a run and get some gym clothes really sweaty to leave with her. At this point, that's all I can think of so she'll eat a bit more.
Does Feliway at all help when a cat might be stressed over missing a human, or is it more for behavioral issues? I'm really just doing whatever it takes. I'm not even sure she is stressed or is just extremely used to eating with me around. Thanks!
