Okay so I've had a cat for quite a while now and lately he has just been bugging me like crazy! He wont eat! No matter what kind of food we place in front of him he just leaves it and then complains some more...I just can't get my head around it and then my parents bug me for not taking good enough care of him. Any ideas on a kind of food he'll really like, and ways to make sure he eats it? (and shuts up?!)

It may sound strange but Im a big animal lover and i just want your cat to be healthy<3

It tastes good and my one long hair, Luci, loves it. Perhaps the cat needs to be wormed.... consult your vet about that.... sometimes if they are infested with parasites their appetite fads away. Check his teeth and gums, he may have sore gums....and here's a trick also. I only put down food for my three adult cats twice a day. I do not ever leave food down for them all day or they will eat or nibble all day long.... put food down for your cat twice a day, for only 25 minutes or so. What they eat in that time is all they get.... do it twice a day and they soon catch on and eat it all up becuz they are truly hungry!
