Jayenkai	Oh dear.. but cats sometimes do that. I know that Molly occasionally goes a day or two without eating proper meals. Just cat biscuits, and nothing else. If Shadow's an outdoor cat, consider that (s)he may be eating elsewhere. There's plenty of raw food in the wilderness -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

zzoom	Yeah, our cat also gets fed by our retired neighbours, which kinda makes him not too bothered about catching mice - we'd to get mouse traps after we found a mouse in our sons bedroom. Hope your cat is better soon . -=-=- Happy coding!

rockford	Yeah, cats fare funny, fussy buggers; food they love one day they will ignore for the next year. Temperature affects cats appetites too - we noticed that our cats don't really want to eat if they are hot. I know it's not hot at this time of year, but perhaps your heating is on? And yeah, she may be being fed elsewhere... zzoom - our cats used to bring in anything they caught and leave it running, flying or hopping around freely in the kitchen. We've had mice, frogs, birds, a bat and even a whole roast chickes, still hot (this one didn't run, hop or fly though!) The funniest one was definitely a frog - we found it swimming around in the dogs' water bowl! The biggest thing they brought in was a full grown pigeon, completely unharmed by the look of it. How the feck they got something the size of an ostrich in through the cat flap I have no idea. I got the shock of my life once, I went to turn the modem on and there sitting next to it was a full grown, but young starling. It just sat there and watched me. Thing is we'd been home for about an hour and nobody nboticed it, even the dogs. Normally the cats would let us know they've caught something by constantly looking at where they left their "gift" or staying in the same room at least, wagging their tails. But they were nowehere to be seen. Anyway, I hope Shadow is just being a cat and there's nothing physically wrong.

GfK	Remember when my cat stopped eating some years back. We'd moved house two months earlier and he broke into one of the boxes and ripped the teats off some baby bottles. One was unaccounted for. Two months later it turned up on an x-ray. Stuck in his gut, like a plug.

rockford	Ouch! Not the gut problem (although I'm sure that was uncomfortable for the cat), but the cost of the sorting it!

Jayenkai	Poor thing. They've started making Soups for Cats.. (!!?) .. That might be a really odd British thing, not sure.. But perhaps Shadow might be more willing to try one of those? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

GfK	That makes sense - teething kittens can be really put off eating by it. She been to see a vet? Has she potentially eaten something she shouldn't have? As I'm sure you're aware, kittens will literally have a try at anything. One of my cats has always had an obsession with chewing plastic bags. He's not so bad now (he's 10) but in his younger days he was terrible. Turns out that the plastic can contain some form of wheat product, which is why he liked bags so much.
