I had a strange thing happen with my cat last week. I was on vacation over Christmas and had someone drop in and give her food and water for the two weeks I was away. When I got back she wouldn't eat. Not only would she not eat her dry cat food, she wouldn't eat her treats. I took her to the vet and the vet said "she's getting to be an older cat and well, it could be 101 different things, so we're going to have to run a battery of tests. The total cost for the tests is going to be $1,800." I was like, uh, "NO!!!". Are there people that can actually afford $1,800 for tests?!? I think if it was ME that wasn't eating, I wouldn't pay $1,800 for tests. Anyhow, the doctor recommended that I try going to the baby food aisle and getting creamed beef and creamed lamb. The cat gobbled it down. So then I went back to the store and in the cat food aisle there is some Wiska's meat and gravy packages... which is even more liquidy than canned cat food. Cat ate 4 packages yesterday!! But she still won't eat anything dry including her treats. I'm trying to figure out what is wrong. If I were to guess, I'd say sore tooth?

Maybe you should talk to the person you had dropping in and feeding your cat over those two weeks where everything changed. Maybe it is a sore tooth and she can't crunch the dry stuff
