If your cat occasionally loses its appetite, feeding it yogurt might help it eat normally again. However, if your cat has a persistent lack of appetite and refuses to eat, you need to pay more attention and help your cat.
-
Establish a Regular Feeding Routine：
-
A regular feeding schedule is beneficial for cats. Feed your cat on time and in appropriate amounts to help it develop good eating habits. This reduces the likelihood of picky eating. Provide a varied diet, including cat food, meat, vegetables, and snacks, to ensure balanced nutrition and prevent loss of appetite.
-
-
Support Digestive Health：
-
Long – term loss of appetite in cats is often related to weak digestion. Feed your cat foods that support digestive health, such as MiaoXiaoLi. In addition to regular cat food, you can offer your cat foods like millet porridge and vegetable porridge. Yogurt and honey water are also good options to promote digestion and increase appetite.
-
-
Encourage Exercise：
-
Exercise can help stimulate your cat’s appetite. Provide a cat tree for climbing and interactive toys like a逗cat棒 to encourage activity. Playing with your cat for about half an hour daily can increase its energy expenditure and stimulate hunger.
-
-
Try Wet Food：
-
Wet food can be more appealing to cats, especially in hot weather when their appetite might decrease. Consider adding wet food like cat food cans or pouches to your cat’s diet. You can also cook fresh chicken breast or use rehydrated freeze – dried food to entice your cat.
-
-
Keep Food Fresh：
-
Store wet cat food in the refrigerator and keep dry food in a cool, dry place. Use airtight containers to prevent insects and ensure food freshness. Discard uneaten food and clean the feeding bowls regularly to avoid bacterial growth.
-
-
Balanced Diet：
-
Reduce fatty foods in your cat’s diet and choose high – protein, low – fat cat food. Since cats shed more in summer, which can lead to rougher coats and hairballs, supplement with egg yolk and hairball products for coat care.
-
-
Moderate Fruit：
-
While cats are carnivores, some fruits like watermelon, honeydew, papaya, apple, pear, blueberry, and banana are safe and can provide vitamins and hydration. Feed in moderation.
-
-
Yogurt and Ice：
-
Add a little ice to your cat’s water bowl for a cooling effect. Yogurt can enhance gut motility and improve appetite. Offer plain, unsweetened yogurt at room temperature.
-
-
Increase Exercise：
-
Encourage your cat to be active with toys like逗cat棒 and balls. Thirty minutes of daily play can boost energy expenditure and appetite.
-
If your cat’s loss of appetite persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
