Cats & hunger strikes
For any cat owners out there... it's really bad if your cat staves him/herself.
I recently moved, and one cat was upset about it and stopped eating. But in cats, this can actually cause liver damage after even only a few days. So she's in really bad shape. Only cure is to force-feed her lots of food and hope the liver repairs itself. Not fun for either of us.
If we had known it was such an issue, we'd have taken her to the vet sooner. We just thought she'd snap out of her depression.
So I'm passing on our newfound knowledge in the hopes that other owners can avoid this.
