if the eating slowly has been getting worse, it could be she has a problem with her teeth, which can be sorted quite easily, and fairly cheaply

Definitely agree on the vets. How old is she and has she seemed settled in the new home apart from this?
I'm assuming you've tried her on all her favourites?

If it been a week and she has lost a lot of weight, I think she needs to be examined by a vet  :hug:

Are you sure she has lost a lot of weight?  It's sometimes difficult to tell unless you have used scales.


I haven't used scales, she just suddenly feels really boney I've never noticed it before so maybe its just me and I just never realised :/ but she does seem to be acting strange lately

You mentioned in your other thread that you moved recently. How recently is that?

Any change within the cats environment could cause a change of appetite and behaviour.

Do all the cats have their own feeding space?

We moved just over a month ago, they all eat in the same room, but i always feed elsie away from the others as she takes a while to eat compared to them

I assume you have consulted a vet as she has been like this for a week.  What did they say?  Poor little Elsie.  Not at all good that she has lost a lot of weight :hug:

No i havnt spoken to a vet, i know i should but i wanted to make sure it wasnt just a little faze she is going through before i go and spend money on the vets as i am having a few money issues atm, but if there is something wrong i will be sure to pay for anything
