There are many reasons that can cause your cat to stop eating. If it is not sick, then you need to do some investigation to find out why your cat is not eating.

　　If the bowl holding the food is too small or too light, it can make it difficult for the cat to eat. Because if the bowl frequently shakes during feeding, the cat will think it is not worth the effort to eat the food in the bowl. Some cats do not like the location where their bowl is placed, so you should try moving the bowl to a different place.

　　If you have other cats or pets, your cat might be scared by these animals. Cats might find it hard to eat next to a dog bed, near noisy equipment, or in busy areas of the house. Some cats even wait until the room is clear of people and other animals before they start eating. Some dogs have a natural tendency to eat cat food, and they might eat it as soon as it is put into the bowl.

　　Also, consider how long the cat food has been sitting in the bowl — overnight or food left in a hot environment is unlikely to stimulate a cat’s appetite. Even indoor cats may eat less during warm weather.

　　Some cats do not like their food to be changed. If you decide to switch to a new brand of cat food, you need to take a few days gradually changing it: mix a small amount of the new food into the old food and increase the amount of new food each day until your cat fully adapts to the new flavor.

　　If your cat usually eats dry cat food, try occasionally feeding canned food or adding some broth to its usual food. Some older cats or cats with gum pain may find chewing dry food difficult.

　　With simple observation, you can find the reason why your cat is not eating. And with appropriate small adjustments, you can completely change a previously picky cat’s habits. (Source：PetsZone)
