I have a 2 year old kitty, we call her Little Bit, that has had food issues since the day we adopted her. We tried many of the better quality brands. But she continued to vomit most meals up. I took her to the vet. As we were told when we adopted her, she possibly had some sinus or maybe an allergy issue. I discussed this with our vet. ex-Rays showed no blockages in nasal or throat that might be causing vomiting. She was put on Purina HA prescription dry food. She immediately liked it. And held it down. But within less than 2 months, the vomiting began again. After researching similar issues on websites, I began to think it might be a sensitive stomach problem. Fast forward, she has been on Royal Canine for Sensitive Stomach kitty's for a few months now. All vomiting has stopped.
Treats have been offered to her over the past 10 months. She never was even tempted to eat one. She had no interest in them at all. They would just lay on the floor all day. We have tried all flavors of Temptations Treats. Now here is where I am totally at my whits end with worry! A few days ago we offered our other cat, 6 yr old Freddy, his normal 2 or 3 treat morsels on the floor. Out of the blue, Little Bit ate one. Just one! Since that moment, she refuses to eat her nutritious food. She will sniff at it, eat just a few morsels. And stop. If I hide a couple of the treats in her normal food, she will nose around in her bowl, eat the treats and stop. I have never experienced such a sudden change such as this. Before this incident, she loved her Royal Canine Diet. She is 12 lbs. and is built rather small. Is this temporary and she will go back to her regular diet on her own? I am paranoid and worried sick over this. We had a 13 year old male cat that we loved so much. In January 2019, he stopped eating as much as normal. It got worse. And one week later we had to put him down. So I could be making a big thing out of nothing. She seems herself in every other way. Thanks in advance for comments and or suggestions.
