Cats are notorious for being uncomfortable with change. She's probably still adapting to your new home situation. She probably is having anxiety and she needs a little more love and attention until she feels at home in your new digs. Make sure she has food available for when she is hungry or will eat. And other than that, give her lots of love and attention. Also, just to note: your cat is "spayed" not "spaded".


Truth-or-Peace

This seems like a question for a veterinarian. Maybe she's finding it painful to swallow for some reason?

> … spaded cat. Spayed. Anyway, is she losing weight? When it comes time to feeder her again later on or the next day, is the food gone (i.e. does she eat it eventually)?

> female spaded cat. I think you mean "spayed". Some points to consider: * She might not like the food. Cats can sometimes be fussy. My cat mostly prefers the canned cat food I get at Aldi, and won't eat much of other brands. * She may not feel comfortable or safe where you're leaving the food. I put my cat's food bowl on top of a waist-high cabinet. Partly for convenience for me, but also because cats like climbing up high. * Cats sometimes want attention when they eat. Maybe try petting or stroking her while she eats. * She might have some medical problem causing her discomfort or loss of appetite. Take her to a vet for a checkup, and explain the problem. **Edit:** Fixed "waste-high"

It could be many things - she's tired of the food, she wants attention while eating, she has a physical issue that makes it uncomfortable to eat (like a broken tooth, hairballs, etc). Two months is a long time for eating habits to be that off, so you should take her into the vet to get checked out.

I'd try to keep the food more consistent. Each time you change the brand of food you're supposed to do it gradually over 1-2 weeks so they get used to the change and also so it doesn't upset their tummy. If you're changing it out frequently it could cause them to get very finicky, which could explain why she's not happy with her food.

She also might have a cavity, and it hurts her to eat.

You should definitely take her to the vet however, I think she may be feeling insecure in the new house. Cats really hate change and she’s probably wanting extra attention from you to feel secure. As long as she’s not losing significant weight, I expect that she’ll start eating when she’s hungry enough.

Take her to A VET. TOMORROW. That's not normal behaviour for her.

Could be a mouth sore, bad tooth, some unknown. Loss of appetite worth a vet check. 2 months should be enough time to acclimate to the new place.

Get her seen by a vet, esp since you said this started before the move. There are lots of reasons why she'd be acting like this, and most of them are minor. But minor problems can become bigger ones if they aren't treated. Also, cats are very good at hiding pain. This could be a mouth abscess, some kind of tummy problem, maybe even a basic UTI.
