There isn't a whole lot of info to give but...
1. We brought our cat home yesterday, he's an older guy from a shelter, 11 years old. He had been surrendered by the previous owner.
2. He had been eating a Hill's Dental care food, nothing in the shelter vet's analysis suggested a need for that food.
3. Shelter had been giving him some Seafood Friskies garbage that he seemed ok with.
4. He refused to eat that stuff when we got him home, we tried some food we had, he seemed to eat a bit. We let it go that it was a small amount given his stress of being in a new home
5. Today, the second day, he's still not eating a lot, has vomited just foamy saliva twice (nothing much in his belly anyway)
He's used his litter twice, is super super friendly with us, plays with toys, seems very comfy exploring and resting in the room we have him in. He's in this room as part of an introduction to our resident cat. But he won't eat. We are not sure what to do. As I said, all signs from the vet at this rescue shelter were that he was in fine health. A bit dehydrated. The one thing he has done here is drink and pee so I think we're good on that end.
Any thoughts? Ways to get him to eat? Are we expecting too much too soon?
Thanks!!
