Hopefully a veterinarian was consulted. There’s usually a reason why animals aren’t eating. Could be the food, could be an ailment... 

She has a regular vet. She was born with a lymphatic disorder, and there are a few other issues that haven't been diagnosed yet mostly due to testing costs. Shes 1/2 the size she should be at 1yr old, and has odd spells of no energy, no eating...etc. Shes a happy kitty, and I dote on her every day. I chase and catch bugs so she can, shes got every toy under the sun. Hopefully, when I can, the rest of the tests will be done and I'll know what's up with her ❤ 

wow, what is that? 

As long as she's eating. She's lucky to have you. Does she eat real fish? I used to catch bluefish to supplement cat food for my adopted cat. 

I'll have to try that tonight. I can't eat a whole one, so I'll get to share it. Hopefully it's something they'll like. Seems mine have all decided that the freaking super expensive canned food should sit in their bowls all day. It's turned into hard crusted over crap that I end up scraping into the garbage at night here lately. 

that is so cute  

Maybe she'd like baby food. It's good for getting cats eating right. if she's not ailing she might want another flavor of food.  

I had a cat who loved cantaloupe and another who would est corn from a cob! 

Flash Gordon, my male kitty who died several years ago...LOVED the tiny yellow mangoes. I would peel it, eat it down to the pit, and then put the pit on a plate. He would pick it up, take it to a corner and kick all the left over mango off of it, scooting it around on the floor. It was hysterical...but super messy 😂 

I tried pumpkin baby food before. I dont think...at this point at least, that it's about taste or flavor. I think what ever it is that is bothering her, just knocks her out. I'm sure there is more wrong with her than just the lymphatic disorder, but I don't know what else yet. The lymphatic disorder causes small bumps under her skin to grow, rapidly..to about the size of a thumbnail...then they disappear. These started under her nipples, and now they will grow anywhere on her body. Just before they pop up, she is sleepy, doesn't eat well, and just lays around crying. Then once that 'spell' is over, she's fine. It's strange  

That's a strange ailment I've not heard of - poor baby! I meant chicken or turkey baby foods, not vegetable. They don't much care for the mixes, just all meats, also ham and beef. Pumpkin would be for constipation. I've had cats that ate tomato, corn and spinach, and others that love kitty stew type. I hope your cat is feeling good today. I'm going to read up on her unusual illness.  

I missed this when it was current. Glad Beeper's back on her feed bag!
