Cat not eating, drinking and is hiding under bed

Hello there, I'm so sorry to hear that your cat isn’t feeling well. When a cat stops eating or drinking and starts hiding, it can be quite concerning. These behaviors often indicate that something might be bothering her, either physically or emotionally.



There are a few common reasons for these symptoms. Your cat could be experiencing stress due to recent changes in her environment, such as moving furniture or introducing a new pet or person into the home. Health issues like dental pain, gastrointestinal problems, or even more serious conditions like kidney disease can also lead to reduced appetite and hiding.



At home, try setting up a quiet, cozy spot with her favorite blanket to encourage comfort. You can also warm her usual food lightly or offer aromatic, wet food to entice her to eat and drink. Ensure that her water bowl is clean and refresh the water frequently.



Monitor for signs of a serious issue, such as vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, or lethargy. Also, check if she's having any difficulty breathing or unusual aggressive behavior, as these could indicate an emergency.



It’s always best to err on the side of caution with cats. I recommend scheduling a video consult with one of our veterinarians here at Dial A Vet. A professional can assess her symptoms more closely and guide you on the best next steps for her well-being.
