Hello,
My aunt just left for vacation and left her older cat (which is about 9 years old) with us. It has been more than 24 hours and the cat has not came out from under the sofa or eaten. If we try to get her out, she does back in or hides underneath another sofa. We believe that it is because of the younger kitten because they have met before at my aunt's appartment where the older cat also suddenly stopped eating. She seems to be terrified of them to the point that she wont eat or even look at the food when its being placed infront of her.
We are very worried and concerned about the cats emotional and physical health and do not know what to do. We can not carry it because it would scratch.
Can anyone help out? What should we do to atleast get the cat eating?
