cat isn't eating

ki_ki_calico Jul 25, 2005 04:18 PM

I just moved in with my parents with my 1 1/2 year old calico cat. My parents have a dog and my kiki isn't taking it well. She has been hiding under my parent's bed for 4 days and hasn't eaten or used her litter box. I'm really worried. Can anyone tell me anything that may help her?

Kiki needs to see a vet ASAP. Unfortunately cats can develop a fatal liver disorder if they don't eat! Please get her help immediately.

Be sure that Kiki has her own space in a room with a door that will close. She should not be allowed to come nose to nose with the dog at this point. She will feel far more secure if you can give her a room of her own with food and a litterbox for at least a week. Then gradually let her explore the new territory. Get a baby gate and isolate the dog while she is out exploring! She can sniff the dog through the gate and get used to him.
