My 4 years old cat, Catnip is very very active. She loves to play a lot, running around and jumping. But she has trouble eating. Unlike my other cats (and any normal cat), she doesn't seem to ever feel hungry and voluntarily go to her bowl. I always need to take her to the bowl, sit with her, stroking her and begging her to eat. It can be a difficult process because she will just stare at the food, taking her sweet time before actually take few bites and then sprint off (at this point she is too fast for me to catch her) to wherever she loves playing. I already go to the vet and they said she has no medical problem but she is quite thin judging from her high activity level as compared to her food intake. I've tried canned food but even that, she will only eat when I ask her. That is if i can catch her. My main problem here is it seems like she doesn't know how to feel hungry and come to for food. It is very exhausting. I wonder if anyone has the same problem, and any advice you can give me..any idea on how to make meal time attractive and memorable so she will remember when it's time to eat?
