My young cat has had odd eating habits since we got her at 8 weeks old. She’s very picky to the point where we had to switch her food up every day. Raw, freeze dried, canned, flavor enhancers etc. even human food. She likes the food one time and then doesn’t. She’ll not eat 2 meals in a row, and then eat 3 bites, and that’s all. Jemima is very petite and small framed. She can’t afford to eat like this. So I began watching her eat. I noticed that eating seemed to be a chore for her. She throws her head back to keep it in her mouth. She’ll eat sideways. Sometimes Jemima will drop food from her mouth. She’ll also make little groaning breathy sounds. I’ve made a vet appointment for next Thursday because I’ve never seen a cat eat like this. Has anyone had this problem? How do you solve it? Can she have a defect? I’m just worried something is wrong with her.
