Hello there! I’m sorry to hear your kitty is being a bit picky about their prescription urinary food. Cats can sometimes be quite particular about their meals, especially if they’re adjusting to a new diet.
There could be a few reasons for this reluctance. Firstly, the taste and texture might be different from what your cat is used to, leading to some hesitancy. If your cat is feeling stressed or unwell due to a urinary issue, that could also affect their appetite. Dehydration or pain might further contribute to their lack of interest in food.
Here’s a tip that might help: try mixing a small amount of the prescription food with their previous diet, gradually increasing the new food over a week or so. Warming the food slightly in the microwave can sometimes enhance its aroma and make it more enticing.
Keep an eye out for signs of more serious concerns, such as vomiting, lethargy, straining to urinate, or blood in urine. These symptoms warrant immediate attention.
If you're still having trouble getting your cat to eat or if they show any worrying signs, it's a good idea to reach out for professional guidance. I recommend booking a video consult with one of our veterinarians on Dial A Vet. We're here to support you and your furry friend on this journey to better health!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
