Hello there,
It sounds like you're concerned about your furry friend's eating habits, and I’m here to help. Cats can sometimes be mysterious with their behaviors, but let's try to make sense of this together. If your cat isn’t eating and is doing something odd by her plate, she could be pawing or scratching at the floor, which is known as "food caching." This behavior is instinctual, similar to covering leftovers in the wild.
However, a sudden change in appetite can signal an underlying issue. It could be as simple as dislike for a new food or something more concerning, like dental problems, gastrointestinal issues, stress, or even a change in her environment causing anxiety.
At home, try offering her small amounts of smelly, wet food or warming her food slightly to make it more enticing. Ensure her dish is clean and placed in a quiet area she feels comfortable in. Keep an eye out for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or weight loss—these can indicate it's time for a deeper look.
If her appetite doesn’t improve in a day or two, or if you notice any of these serious signs, we should delve into this further. I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss her condition in detail and figure out the best way forward. We're here to help you and your kitty get back to normal.

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
