What is wrong with your cat if she does not eat?

It could be that she is bored with her food. Sometimes cats get tired of eating the same food every day. My cats are especially picky; whenever I go to the pet store, I always buy a few different flavors of each brand of cat food they have, so as to give them as much variety as possible.

The cat might also have a mild respiratory infection, the equivalent of a kitty-kat cold. Cats won't eat unless they can smell their food, so if her sense of smell is being affected by a cold, she won't eat, no matter how hungry she is.

Mild infections like these usually clear up on their own, but you should take the cat to the vet anyway, just to be safe. My suggestion is to try giving her some different kinds of food, and if that doesn't work, make an appointment with your vet.

Infections like these typically clear up on their own, but you still need to take the cat to the vet. A mild respiratory infection is just one possible explanation. Something more serious could potentially be wrong.

It can be something as simple as changing the bowls. Do NOT use plastic dishes. They often have chemical smells that cats do not like. We had a cat almost starve to death because of plastic dishes! They do not like change, such as change in food, location and dishes.
