Upper respiratory diseases may cause discharge to clog your cat's nose and eyes, resulting in a transient loss of sight and smell.
These respiratory issues may be brought on by bacterial or viral infections requiring basic treatment, or they may be as complex as malignancy.
In addition to digestive problems, your cat may experience vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain.
However, a decrease in appetite is typically one of the first indications of a digestive system issue. Other issues include acid reflux.
Some cats enjoy eating things they shouldn't or may ingest hair that forms into hairballs, which can become lodged in the stomach or intestines.
Some foreign bodies can pass through your cat's system and cause transient gastrointestinal distress or loss of appetite, while others may require removal via surgery.
Teeth and gums that are diseased or painful can cause a cat to cease eating. Cats can fracture their teeth, develop resorptive lesions on their teeth
Your cat, like humans, may not want to consume if their mouth hurts. However, dental problems in cats can be difficult to diagnose.
Cats can be particular. Due to preference, a cat may consume one flavor of the same brand but reject an entirely different flavor.
If food manufacturers change flavors and ingredients without clearly indicating it on the packaging, your cat may reject the food abruptly and rebel.
Additionally, your cat may be sensitive to certain food shapes and textures. Some cats prefer triangle-shaped food.
While others prefer round-shaped food, and others will only consume crunchy dried food or canned wet food.
