My cat is a picky eater/drinker and I have a couple of questions

Hello! It’s quite common for cats to be particular about their food and water, so you're not alone in this. Cats can be picky eaters for several reasons. Sometimes, it's simply a matter of taste or texture preference. They might also become fussy if their food or water is too close to their litter box, as cats are generally clean creatures that prefer separation of these areas.



To encourage more consistent eating and drinking, try offering both dry and wet food to see which your cat prefers. Ensure their food and water bowls are clean and placed in a quiet, calm area of your home. Fresh water is essential, so change it daily. Some cats prefer running water, so a pet fountain could be a great solution.



While pickiness is often normal, keep an eye out for signs of a more serious issue. If your cat stops eating or drinking entirely, starts losing weight, vomits frequently, or appears lethargic, it’s time to consult a vet.



If you still have concerns or notice any worrisome symptoms, I encourage you to schedule a video consult with a vet through Dial A Vet. We're here to help ensure your feline friend stays healthy and happy!
