Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2005Argh! Figured out Kami's food thing.
Never-ending saga of getting the world's most finicky cat to eat. I think I finally figured out what her problem was: She didn't like the lot number. Even though I called Science Diet and asked if there was a problem with one of the lots, she still refused to eat the one for 1/2006, but would eat the one for 5/2005. Now I'm thinking some of the one's I took back to exchange for something else she would eat were from the "good" lot. Now I've picked each of my nearest PetsMarts clean of the 5/2005 stock, so this afternoon I've purchased a new lot-- 2/2006. The suspense is just killing me... NOT!

They just know. No doubt. BTW, she nixed the new one. I don't know what to do with this cat! She's spoiled and cranky She just turned up her nose and went back to bed.

That is so untrue with cats and why you have to be proactive in your attempts to get finicky felines to eat. There has been lots of posts in this group about the danger of letting a cat go a couple of days without food. Hint - liver failure. -mhd > >>No doubt. BTW, she nixed the new one.

I'll never forget what happened to my Gnarly from just getting off her feed for a few days. Very scary. She never recuperated even though I did take her to the vet to be rehydrated etc. >>>No doubt.

They wouldn't eat any good food. But I stood firm and tried lots of different quality foods and found one (Merrick) that they like. So I gave them various types of that for a while, and now I'm introducing other types that they've rejected in the past, like Wellness. They are eating that happily now. Of course you're right, any serious non-eating demands immediate attention.
