Cats

When your feline companion suddenly shows little interest in their favourite meals, it's natural to feel concerned. Poor appetite in cats may signal underlying health issues that require prompt attention. Unlike dogs or humans, cats can develop serious complications within 48 hours if they’re not eating anything, particularly a condition called hepatic lipidosis, where the liver struggles to process fat stores.
