    Should I be worried?

    Gryfn has settled in nicely... drinking heaps....

    But (you knew there was a but didn't you!) he's not eating a lot. Just eating a few biscuits. Whether he's eating biscuits at night I don't know, but he doesn't seem to eat very much.
    So should I be worried or not.....

    No I wouldn't worry, as long as he's drinking, I'd imagine it's because of everything he's been through in the last couple of days. I know it's difficult when you've got more than one cat becasue your can't monitor how much they eat, but cats tend to be grazers and eat little and often. He wont' starve himself. Are you feeding him the same food as the breeder ? Harry took quite a few days to settle with food, now I can't stop him, although he is a thief and tries to steal everybody elses food as well, not Poppy's ours ! Yesterday he quietly sat by the side of my son who was eating bacon and with one flick of the paw had it off the plate onto the floor !

    Glad everything else is ok

    Should I Be Worried

    I agree with above posting as long as he is drinking & seems happy & healthy in every other way food is not so essential ,is he using his tray ? If there is poo in there he must be putting something in & I am sure he will soon be stuffing it away.....
    I have found with a couple of mine that they didn't want to touch the food the breeder had sent for them they seemed to want to be "big boys" so I put them onto the same as the others & they were happy although mine are fed mostly wet with just a top up of dried.
    Know what you will be doing this fine day,kitty watching !

    I agree with the above - Zack seems to like to eat small amounts often. If he is pooing then he must be eating. I found he definitely loves the meat that all my cats have for tea but even then he eats a small amount and goes back often ( when his runs out he goes and steals it from the other cats bowls)

    If he is happy and playing then he surely must be ok

    He seems to be ok in himself and I noticed he did eat more today.
    I haven't got exactly the same biscuits, as I haven't been able to get the royal canin ones, but have got the purina ones he was getting.
    He also hadn't eaten any of the raw or wet food I'd given him, but tonight he did eat some of the roo meat I gave him.
    He's settled down well, though is a bit flighty when things surprise him or the kids run amok!

    Maybe he has a bit of jet lag Louie can be very jumpy if the dogs bark

    That's what had me worried the other night as I offered it to him and he just turned away.

    But he's running amok this morning, and tried helping himself to my bacon and eggs... but the coffee was too hot for him this morning....
