I'm in my 50s, and have owned/loved cats all of my life. However, I don't think I've ever seen a cat come back to health after its stopped eating, .....ever.
My best little bud, 9 year old male Main Coon mix, has stopped eating approx two days now [the local vet was closed today]. He started vomiting up food, and yesterday it was just foam.
I bought a can of every small variety of cat food in the store today [ie beef, chicken, seafood, shrimp, etc] , including tuna, and smoke salmon, and laid a small portion out for him, and he just don't want it.
He has been an indoor only cat, and has always been in great health, but I know that cats can appear to be fine until they aren't which is usually too late.
I know its just a matter of time now, but I'm genuinely curious if anyone has had one come back to health instead of passing away? Also, I can't figure out why I keep hearing of people owning cats until they are 15-20 years old as all of our cats, all indoor for the past decades, all seem to die around 7 years old [present cat being the exception].
