If your kitten turns their nose up at their food, you’re not alone! Many cats have favourite textures and flavours, and can go off their food if anything changes. If your cat suddenly goes off their food or refuses to eat, make an appointment with your vet as it could be a sign of an underlying problem.You can encourage a fussy kitten to eat by:Switch feeding time until after the rest of the household has eaten, and feed them in a quiet area away from noise and stress. You can also try changing from wet to dry food, or use a different flavour.Make sure their bowl is clean – old food can be off-putting for cats and kittens. Try using a flat bowl or saucer.Dry food absorbs moisture and becomes stale, especially in warm weather – try replacing your supply if they usually eat dry food.Serve wet food at room temperature, as it smells more attractive. Microwave wet food for a short time until it’s warm (never hot) to the touch.Cats who roam outside can catch an unscheduled snack or two – they may just not be hungry. This is especially true in hot summer weather.
