Cats will suffer from temporary loss of appetite when arriving at a new home. Usually, it is normal for cats to go home without eating or drinking for two days.

If the cat does not eat for more than 3 to 4 days, it is recommended that the owner take the cat to the hospital for infusion. In addition to replenishing body fluids and energy, hepatoprotective and appetite-increasing drugs should also be given.

After curing, take the cat home to rest and let it familiarize itself with the environment. Do not disturb the cat too much, and do not touch the cat forcibly. After the cat fully adapts to the new environment, you can slowly increase interaction.

What to do if a new cat comes home and doesn’t eat or drink?

First of all, the owner can place the cat in a quiet, dark, sheltered place to allow the cat to adapt.

Secondly, the owner can provide the cat with sufficient water and canned food in the environment. At the same time, an appropriate amount of probiotics can be added to the water or food to regulate intestinal health.

Finally, after the cat adapts, the owner can play with the cat using a cat teasing stick.
