Just thinking some more, any changes you do make should be done slowly because we all know how pattern oriented our little buddies are.

Gosh, I never thought about it from that angle -- we've been trying so hard to replicate her home environment - even went back to where she'd lived several hours away and got her food bowl and a throw that had been across the back of her mom's couch for her to sit on in her foster home. Maybe that has been detrimental rather than helpful. Thank you.

If at all possible, I would try to make sure that the kitty food you get is NOT the same flavor/brand as what she had been given. You may want to reintroduce her to it little by little, making it kind of exposure therapy. Gotta keep your attitude positive and happy at feeding time so she doesn't pick up your worry and associate that with eating.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:A friend's cat, who died this summer at age 17, would get unexplained anorexia every few years and lose a lot of weight, refusing to eat. He would need supportive care at the vet and would ultimately start eating again, but there was never an explanation for it other than psychological. He stopped doing it a few years before he died.Michelle
