Melbcat is still resting a lot and a bit off her food. I wonder if it’s nausea, the heat or the stress of another cat about. She’s taken to lounging at the door and crying to go out, probably hoping to punch on.

I took some wet food out to the black cat with nutritional yeast on top for a vitamin boost and to encourage him to eat. He reluctantly licked it once then walked away giving his tail a single flick. Bro, you’re so malnourished you’re getting bald spots. Eat. It could be he prefers dry food or needs a stinkier food to smell it properly.

If it makes you feel better the strays will turn their noses up at certain wet food because it’s not their favourite brand.

Cats…

  I’m surprised at it because of how thin he is, and think maybe cat flu has dulled his appetite?
  
  It’s the Smitten homebrand from Woolies in beef so maybe something in fish might work

    he might only be able to eat a small amount at a time and nothing too rich
    
    I remember when Allie was super thin she loved Dine fish
