Any plants horses won't eat?
Comments (12)is your yard so small.. that you have to put a bed right on the fence line???? whose fence is it.. where is the property line ... if they put it up properly.. it should be on their property .... having a good relationship with the neigh[pun]-bor .... is way more important than you using that extra foot or two of the garden .. and considering they have horses.. i suspect you are not on some 50 foot square yard yourself ... i guess.. personally ... i would just keep the bed 3 or 4 feet from the fence.. and figure out how to do the verticals ... without infringing on the fence WHY RISK IT .... ken...See Morecat won't eat off of plate
Comments (6)Sounds like typical nutty cat shtick. I had a similar experience. Odessa had been eating out of a crappy old plastic (brite orange :-() dish that I had used for 20 years for my other cats. We remodeled the kitchen and I decided it would be a good idea to get a better looking dish that is also healthier stainless steel. I hope my husband never reads this, but I spent $80.00 for the Alessi cat bowl set...it really is adorable and looks great in the kitchen. But guess what...Odie refused to eat out of it...just like your cat! I had to take the food and put it on the floor, spoon by spoon. I finally got her to eat from the bowl...what I did was sprinkled 1/2 a soft cat treat over the food...just as when I switched her from FF to Wellness during her tummy troubles. She would eat off the top layer of food, then would wait for me to spoon the rest onto the floor. Eventually she got the message...It was a gradual process and took a while, but now she licks her stainless steel bowls clean. I think she was objecting too the change in texture and shape...cats are creatures of habit. Also, I don't use dish soap on her bowls...I just rinse them thoroughly with very hot water. Good luck....See MoreCat won't eat - My successful experience
Comments (6)Success! My cat Larry for no apparent reason, stopped eating at age 12 years old. I took him to the vet & all tests came back good. As far as the vet could determine there was no reason he was not eating. He was dangerously undernourished & his weight plummeted over the course of several months. I really thought we were going to lose him. I tried just about every food I could get my hands on including advice from cat rescue people of foods that even the "most finicky cats" would eat. Larry wanted no part of any of them. My husband & I tried everything. We were cooking fresh fish, eggs, baby food, the list goes on & on. Then I finally found a food he would eat! It is "BLUE BUFFALO HEALTHY GROWTH KITTEN" dry food. (I buy it at Petsmart.) It has now been 3 and a half weeks & he's still eating & slowing gaining his weight back. To all of you going through this, I advise you to give it a try & GOOD LUCK! :) April...See MoreAll diagnostics test are normal, but my cat still won’t eat or drink
Comments (63)This is an old thread but I guess I will reply to it. I'm having the same issue with my male ragdoll cat, 11yrs old. All of a sudden he stopped eating and drinking but also kept licking his lips occasionally. I also noticed him being sick quite a bit (yellow liquid with froth) He usually loves lic e lix treats which is yogurt consistency and usually licks it up within seconds but would not have that either. Took him to the vet yesterday, I said I thought it might be a hairball stuck or something but the Nurse felt around the tummy slowly going along and said she can't feel a blockage. Temperature was ok and told me might have picked up a bug although he never gets outside. She gave him an injection and told me if he didn't eat or drink by the morning then to ring up may need bloods doing. Next morning (today) still not eaten or drank water so they told me to bring him in for blood tests. They phoned me about an hour ago saying the tests were pretty boring really, they all came back ok. He has been on a drip for today and told me he can go home today with the canula in his leg and if he eats nothing today again he goes back on drip for another day tomorrow. So this is where I am at with my cat right now, have to pick him up in an hour. I am hoping he eats and he won't have to go back in to stay tomorrow. I just thought I'd write this because others seem to have the same issues. It doesn't help you feel better though when you search the web thinking it could be the worst....See Morekim_b_2010
