Kitten not eating
Discussion
Hi all, little lizzie is not eating much of her food at present - I often find her bowl 3/4 still full.
However nothing else is different I.e she is still nuts, energetic and playful.
Do kittens go through a phase where life is too exciting to waste time eating or should I be concerned?

I do hope they still are!Cheers all for the responses.
Basically we give her one pouch plus some dry stuff twicwe a day - once in the morning and once at night.
She used to destroy a bowl very quickly but now its rare to find it empty before the next feed.
I guess I could try just leaving it til she is finished insdtead of doing the next rota.

Unlike dogs, cats generally only eat what they need and don't eat for the sake of it. As long as she is eating something and more importantly she is drinking then I wouldn't worry. It might also help if you don't leave the food down all day as it will go stale and attract flies.Basically we give her one pouch plus some dry stuff twicwe a day - once in the morning and once at night.

Our kitten did exactly the same, And our cat rarely finishes her wet food between the two of them they eat less than a pouch a day, however there are alway biscuits down for them and that needs filling fairly regularly. I worried when he went off his food at first but it's not uncommon. Cupid Stunt said:

How old is she? As she gets older she'll require less frequent feeds. If you are worried, what about a tiny weeny bit of tuna to give her an appetite? (Check with the vet that tuna is ok first though!).
How come?Believe it or not one of my dogs goes mad when she has too much protein. Just goes running and running and running around the garden, like a cat having a mad half hour.
