I'm getting worried

[pomtzu]

Try not to worry. She obviously isn't sick if she playing and exploring. I'm sure she misses her Mom, but she'll eat when she gets hungry enough.

Mark the level of the water, so you can tell is she has been drinking anything, but if she is active and seeming okay otherwise, I'd not worry quite yet. Our dog used to refuse to eat anything for a day when my mom went away, especially if my dad put the food in her dish (he was the big meanie who took mommie away and didn't bring her back ... a.k.a. drove her to the bus for the trip to her convention ) but after a day, if I or one of the other kids prepared her food, she's reluctantly eat it.

Thank you! It's good to know that your dog also didn't eat for the first day, Karen.

Missy is a sweet girl and I hope she'll feel more secure tomorrow. I can tell she doen't like strange noises. This evening she has been playing some. I put some real strong Valeriana inside a toy and she went for it! After my dinner, she went and sat in my chair. I'm hoping she'll come to bed with me. We'll see!

Will keep you updated.

It's not really unusual, she'll hungry her way out of the snit.

Good girl, Missy! You played with a toy and sat in Randi's chair! Fingers tightly crossed!

Mac did not eat at all for the first day or two I had him. In fact, he stayed hidden in my hall closet for the first 24 hours. When he was ready to eat and drink, he did. I just had to be patient. Missy will eat and drink when she is good and ready to, which shouldn't be too long now.

Yay, she starting eating, but only a little bit. I also saw her drink some water this morning.

Other than that, she has been exploring some more and racing around after a little leather ball I threw, she wants to continue that game - I'll get some excersise too. When I sit down, she'll stay close to me, so all is well.

Thank you for your replies.

This might help you. When I had just the two kitties, Spunky and Sam, I would travel with them to my mom's. They were so excited each time that they didn't eat much. If I stayed long enough, they would eat. At least I didn't have to worry about them eating the Meow Mix my mom fed. Hers would actually join mine for the meal.
