New here, looking for advice on my catâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s current problem, and hope to be a member longer too).
So my cat Xena wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t eat. I moved about a month ago into a private apartment with my boyfriend, and just last Thursday I took my 7 year old cat, Xena to live with us since they allow cats. (Oh Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve been missing her). But… she wonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t eat.
The first day she just hid behind the couch, slowly coming out to explore, and only when I am around. By the next day she was following me around, cuddling with my boyfriend, and only hiding when we left the apartment. Over the weekend, she seemed to fully adjust, and shes super friendly and her normal self. So shes not scared.
The first two days she ate nothing, and I had to throw her food out. Over the weekend she ate a few bites, and tonight she ate a few bites of new food I put down. I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t think shes drank much water, if any, and she normally drinks a lot. The food brand is the same as what my parents fed her- I feed her a can wet food a day and there is always dry food out. I tried moving her food to different spots- thinking the kitchen it very large and she might be paranoid at any little sound. She doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t like people food- so I canâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t give her anything else I have.
Shes meowing around, and rubbing up against everything, acting like she wants to be fed, and I put her next to her food, pet her and wait with her, or put her there and leave her alone and she just follows me, wanting to be fed.
I just talked to my mom and she says “If she is hungry enough, sheâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ll eat.†Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m starting to get worried if this is serious enough to call a vet about. But a hungry cat with food in front of her who seems to be well adjusted? I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t get it.
Here is a picture of her, soooo cute:
