Hi,
Since Valium has potent muscle-relaxing properties, I can see where it might be helpful to get a cat to eat if the reason they are not eating is pain or, more especially, nausea. About 20 years ago I had a severe viral inner-ear infection; the vertigo and nausea were horrible and I had a reaction to the anti-vertigo medication I was given. I hadn't eaten in days and my doctor prescribed Valium since what I had was viral all they could do was treat the symptoms while I waited it out. The Valium relaxed me enough to be able to eat. I guess it would really depend on the cause of lack of appetite. Julie
