Hi guys
I didn't quite know where to turn to, so I'll ask my question here. I'm a first time chicken and cat owner, so I'm always worried when they do something unusual.
Usually my animals get fed around 7:30am on weekdays. My cat is always waiting for me on the tv furniture next to the door. I come downstairs, he jumps up, I catch him and we cuddle. He then comes with me to feed the chickens and afterwards he gets his own breakfast. He only receives what he needs for his weight and age in the morning and evening. He eats everything in one go.
In the weekend I sleep in a little bit sometimes. No problem with my animals it seems. Now this morning my cat Archie took a long time to come home. When he got home, he ignored his food, didn't want cuddles and just went for the water. I found this really odd and was worried, but I had somewhere to go so I closed of the cat door so I'd at least find him inside when something was wrong.
I came back in the evening and he still hadn't eaten his food. He started eating when I got home, but he was supposed to get another serving. At the moment he's lying on my chest purring.
Could it be he just ate a big mouse or rat and wasn't hungry? He brought in his first mouse on Friday, but he had also vomited on two spots. It looked like human food, but I rarely give him anything. He was fine until today. Does your cat sometimes just doesn't eat?
