Hi everyone,
I have been struggling with getting Aurora to eat. She got sick about a week ago, and I think she's lost about a pound. She's a small cat (7.1 lbs max weight) so a pound is noticeable on her. My biggest problem is she's a grazer, so she'll eat all of her food...it just might be four hours later. Jack on the other hand will eat her food and his own food pretty quickly. Feeding time has been a challenge because I'm not always home during the day to separate them. I've also tried giving her kitten canned food again to help encourage eating and try to get some of her weight back. Any suggestions on how I can encourage Aurora to eat a little faster/get Jack to leave her food alone? Jack is scheduled to get neutered on October 6th. Will that affect his appetite at all? I've never owned a male cat before.
