When we happily feed the kitten, we expect to see the kitten eating with a big appetite. Sometimes it is indeed like that—when we put food in front of the kitten, they always eat happily. But sometimes, the kitten just looks coldly at the food and then walks away. So, what should we do when we find the kitten refuses to eat?

In fact, kittens' appetites are very similar to humans. With changes in body, mood, weather, and other factors, kittens' appetite also changes accordingly. Therefore, when we find the kitten refuses to eat, the first thing is not to panic. Be sure to observe the kitten’s physical condition. If the kitten has other discomfort symptoms besides refusing to eat, we should promptly take the kitten to see a doctor. But if the kitten has no discomfort and simply does not want to eat, then we can take the following measures.

1. Feed small amounts more frequently. Many times, kittens refuse to eat because we give them too much food at one time. At this time, we can feed the kitten several times but reduce the amount each time, which can effectively improve the kitten’s appetite.

2. Change the food. If the kitten always eats the same brand of cat food, the kitten can easily get bored. Therefore, we just need to change the brand of cat food. When choosing cat food, prefer those with higher meat content, because kittens love eating meat.

3. Adjust the temperature. Food that is too cold or too hot does not taste good, so it cannot stimulate the kitten’s appetite. When solving the problem of a kitten refusing to eat, try changing the food’s temperature. Generally speaking, warm food has better color, aroma, and taste, so we should feed the kitten warm food.

Of course, if after trying the above methods, the kitten still refuses to eat, don’t continue trying. Take the kitten to a veterinarian promptly!
