HI Everyone!
I just adopted a 2 year old Siamese and am having problems getting him to eat from his food bowl. I read a previous thread about cats hiding their food, but this is a little different as he will absolutely not eat his kibble unless it is on the floor.
He came to us very sick with a respiratory virus and would not eat for several days. He was very weak and I was trying everything. He would not and now will not eat wet food. I finally got him to eat by opening the bag (more smell?) and letting him take the food out onto the floor and eat it. At first I was just happy he was eating something but now he has gotten better and it is just a mess.
Has anyone experienced this before? And if so how did you deal with it? Or am I just doomed to clean up kibble?!
Thanks Much!
