My cat just got over a urinary tract episode and the Vet gave her a
prescription cat food to eat.  The cat refuses to eat the food.  The Vet
told me to try phasing it in by mixing it with the old cat food.  No dice.
My cat works around every morsel and touches none of the prescription food.
So on Friday I had enough and figured the only way to get her going on the
Vet's food was to simply leave it out exclusively.  I figure she will eat it
when she is hungry enough.  Well now I'm not sure.  It has been two days now
and the cat won't eat the food.  She looks at the bowl and comes to me and
says "Listen jerk bring back my old food, this stuff smells like horse crap"
I don't know if I am losing sleep over nothing.  Will my cat seriously
starve herself to death while looking at a full bowl of food?  Or will she
eat the Vet's food when her hunger desire defeats her fear, attitude, or
whatever feelings she has toward the new food?  I still have all day to go
today (Sunday) and I can call the Vet tomorrow.  Anybody here ever go
through this experience?  Thanks for any input.
