Cat won’t eat! -and I am at a loss! – What haven’t I tried? To find the causes quickly – you have to start with the most common reason: Dental disease! This affects 80 % of all cats.

2. undisturbed bacterial growth in the mouth. The aggressiveness of the bacterial layers increases. Inflammation develops within 48 hours. Tartar forms in 2 weeks. And toothache hurts your cat just as much as it hurts us humans.
