Why is your cat eating less?

A number of different medical conditions may be the cause of your cat’s loss of appetite. We recommend to contact your vet in order to rule out any underlying health reason for this change.
Cats eat less when they feel disturbed or insecure.
Many things lead to your cat feeling less secure in it’s environment and a reduction of appetite:

Travelling upsets your cat’s routine which might cause them to avoid eating for a time.
Changes in the home can disturb your cat (E.g. moving home, new furniture, redecorating etc...)
Cats can take a long time to adjust to new types of food. So a recent change in diet could explain why your cat becomes picky with their food
Competition with other cats for food or water can keep your cat away from its food bowl or the presence of a dog.

Using a FELIWAY Optimum will help your cat to feel more safe and secure in its environment and get back to eating normally again.
