What should I do if the cat I just bought doesn’t eat? Look here!
I believe many cat shovelers have encountered this situation. When moving or new kittens come to their homes, they will hide in the corner, not eating or drinking, and it will last for many days. At this time, the cat shovelers must be very anxious, afraid that they will be hungry and have physical problems. In fact, this situation is very normal. Let’s take a look at what to do if the cat I just bought doesn’t eat.
1. Let the cat slowly adapt to the environment
The cat I just bought is not familiar with the new environment and feels nervous and afraid, so they will not eat. If there are no other abnormalities, it is normal, and the cat can slowly adapt to the environment.
1. The owner can temporarily stay away from the cat, then prepare a quiet and dark place for the cat, and prepare a soft and comfortable nest for it, with water and food in front of the nest. Generally, after the cat is familiar with the environment and feels hungry, he will eat by himself.
2. The owner can spend more time with the cat and talk to it, so that the cat can narrow the distance between the cat and the owner and allow the cat to adapt to the new environment faster.
3. If the cat is sensitive and prone to depression, you can also spray cat pheromones in the environment where the cat lives, which can relieve the cat's nervousness and fear.
2. Seek medical treatment in time
If the cat has not eaten for more than 2-3 days and has other abnormal symptoms, such as listlessness, vomiting, diarrhea, etc., then it should be taken seriously, as it is likely that the loss of appetite caused by illness. At this time, the owner needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for examination in time to see what is the specific cause, and then treat it accordingly.
