Savannah Super Cat
I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this question: I have been having a hard time getting my 9 month old F1 (George) to eat some mornings (probably 2 to 3 mornings a week). He loves to herd our domestic cat (against her will) into the kitchen at mealtime and then runs away when I try to get him to eat (usually full of energy and seems too busy to stop for food) And this is usually after I have played fetch with him for 1/2 hour to an hour. Well today he turned down breakfast again, so I tried at lunchtime, but no interest. He has been very mellow all afternoon and evening. I finally got him to eat at 7:30 p.m. by offering some freeze dried chicken (which he was very vocal about wanting) and then a 3 ounce can of his food (he usually eats 6 ounces). After he ate, he disappeared to the top of his cat tree and isn't playing with my hands when I reach up. He is usually by my side at all times (even when he's tired) The pads on his paws feel a lot warmer than usual. I don't know if this means anything. Any thoughts? Could he possibly not care for his food anymore? Is it a good idea to try something different at his age. Thank you so much for reading.
