My cat won't eat his food anymore. Why?
There are lots of reasons a cat might not eat his food. If your cat does not eat for one day, there is usually no cause for concern. Long term fasting predisposes cats to a potentially fatal liver disease called hepatic lipidosis, so if your cat does not eat for two days in a row it's a good idea to take her to your veterinarian and make sure she is okay. Cats like consistency, so sometimes feeding her in a new place at a different time or in a new bowl may cause her to not eat. Occasionally a food may not be stored properly or might be too old and the fats have started to go rancid, which can lead to feed refusal. Sometimes when the weather is too hot your cat might not want to eat. Lastly, determine whether your pet may have had too many treats or may have gotten into the pantry or garbage and so may already have eaten her daily meal.

Are some treats better for cats than others?Generally speaking, treats can be divided into two categories, dry and semi-moist. Semi-moist treats contain 20-30% water, usually contain some real meat or chicken and are highly palatable, making them valuable training treats. Dry treats are usually not as palatable as semi-moist treats, but are less expensive and often can be used to help clean teeth.
