Or! It could be nothing.
Reason #7893 your fluffy ferret-cat might be wasting away (OR, Things Dr. Google, DVM won't tell you):
Hey, idiot. Your cat might just be really, really stubborn. Toss the fancy organic*, not-tested-on-animals, all-natural kibble in the closet next to the organic*, environmentally friendly, all-natural cat litter and buy some goddamn Fancy Feast already.

Me: -6
*Neither the food or litter are actually organic. Which is a real shame.
Why do the kittehs love "meat byproduct" so much?!?!?!

I know! That pristine white cat is Satan, I'm convinced.
Ew, I just hate the dainty little 3oz cans, too. I hate everything about it.

This made me smile ... remember how VERY stubborn Shadow was? She would starve before eating something different than 9 Lives ... and she stayed in Michael's room for the 6 months Stupid lived with us!

My cats also LOVE Fancy Feast. They got it for the first time when they got boarded with the vet a couple years ago. When they got home they refused their regular food until I broke down a week later and bought the damn cans. The smell and texture is disgusting but because I'm a sucker I keep giving it to them.

I'll tell ya, I just can't understand it when people say their animals "refuse" to eat. In my opinion, if the dadgum creature gets hungry enough, THEY'LL EAT! I think you're wasting your time on this one...

Dude, what is it with the Fancy Feast? My cats LOOOOOVE that stuff! And I bought this lovely good-for-you, no-by-product kibble and had to throw it out because they wouldn't eat it!!!

My asshole cat has been provided with some natural pine chip cat litter. Two days and not a drop in there. Either she is massively holding it or I have shit surprise somewhere in my house.
Ehhh, I'll smell it in a day or two right?
