The new 6 month old cat we got from the shelter last week is turning into a
real darling, but he just won't eat.
What should I do? He eats about 25g/1oz of canned food per day, that's it.
Once he threw even that up. His stool is on the soft side.
I bought him kitten nibble, he took about five grains of that. He drinks
though, but actually quite so much that it makes me worry too.
Is he just a very fussy eater?
In the cat book all these symptoms point to a stomach complaint. But then he
looks so healthy, plays, purrs away, his coat is shiny, the eyes are clear.
The only unusual thing is that he sleeps about 20 hours a day.
Or is he just a quiet cat? It's really hard to say if there's something
wrong with him,
he's wormed and should be without fleas, but scratches himself constantly.
I will take him to the vet tomorrow but wonder what you all think of that.
Thanks.

Today he was allowed outside with a harness. He really enjoyed himself and
cried for more (so he ended up outside three times).
First thing he did was eating grass, then he climbed on the apple tree. I
helped him come down with the rope like mountaineers do, there he was partly
hanging in the harness and partly climbing down himself, it was really
funny. Then he had a go at the dwarf rabbits and jumped into a bush.  :-))
