Thank you, Kim.

My headaches are a bit better, so I can tell you a little more.

Like some of you have said, I was also confused by the vet's statement, because I heard about these liver problems when cats don't eat. Maybe someone should tell this vet about that?


Is there a possibility that she finds food somewhere? Does she still go outside? Could she have a second family?
Barbara, she's still going outside, but they live in the forest and there are no neighbors, so it's not very likely that she has a second family. She would have to walk a long way for this, and she's never gone for long.

She's hunting mice, yes, but I don't know if she eats them. But I think even if she does, she wouldn't refuse to eat her food from one day to another.

I also wonder why the vet didn't treat her gums when she was there. She got an injection to stimulate her metabolism, maybe this is why she started eating today.

I'm glad that she's eating again, but still alarmed because I just don't think it's normal for a cat to stop eating for 4 days. Mine would go to the vet after only one day, that's for sure. And I would not accept such a statement. But my mother is different. And I cannot talk to her today anyway, she's in a very bad mood.

BTW, do you think it could have been just stress? There was a lot going on at Tillyschanze the last days.There was a medieval Christmas market, and many visitors were in the house also. But actually Peggy is used to events like this. And on Thursday, Dino was in the house and hissed at Peggy. He went upstairs (where her food bowls are) and didn't allow her to enter the stairs. But usually she's not very impressed by Dino's behavior.

BTW, can you believe that my mother even tried to blame me?? (which has always been a popular thing in my family, but that's another story). I gave Peggy a catnip toy, but my mother took it away because she doesn't like the idea of giving "drugs" to cats (ridiculous, I know) . However, she said it seems to her that Peggy has stopped eating after that. Okay, here we go again. Whatever happens, blame Kirsten. It has always worked.
