Can cats change their appetite due to the weather? I'm in Maryland and the weather has gotten a bit cold lately. We have the heater on as normal and it's not too cold in our house.
We have noticed that Keeba hasn't eaten as much food as she usually does. It started maybe around Thursday. She'll go over by her food dish and eat for a second and then walk away. She also threw up on Wednesday and Thursday.. but has not thrown up since. Thursday she didn't really touch her food.. so Friday we emptied it out, cleaned the bowl and gave her some fresh food. She still barely touched it and it's still sitting in her dish as of today. I gave her some canned wet food today to see if that would spark up her appetite - she went over to it and licked it for awhile, which was good I suppose. She has been drinking a lot (but that is nothing new..she loves her water and plays in it as well!). She is a very hyper kitten and her energy has not changed at all. I'm just worried about her not eating. She has a vet appointment on the 11th for her Rabies shot.
Anyone know what could be the problem? I have a turtle as well and know that when seasons/weather changes his appetite and behavior does as well...... not sure if this is the same with cats??
