Me and my cat Cedric have just moved back into my parents house. Cedric spent a couple days in a cattery while me and the folks went away. I thought this might make it easier for him.

I brought him back to the house yesturday and I noticed he's not really been eating. The cattery said he wasn't eating much there either. I realise this is fairly normal. He's a bit of a fussy eater anyway and the stress of moving has no doubt provoked this.

He's on special biscuits from the doctors and when I tried feeding them to him earlier, he sort of crunched up the buscuits then spat them back out. So I put down some wet food for him and all he did was lick off the jelly, and not much at that.

I'm slightly worried there might be something wrong with his mouth or throat or something. He does seem to be drinking, but he's also really quiet. He meowed a lot in the car on the way down, but hasn't meowed since, and I normally can't shut him up! I'm wondering whether I should take him to the vet or whether he'll settle down and start eating again soon. Is this just a reaction to the move or is he unwell?? Can anyone help?

Hiya it could be stress however I would get him looked at as you said he did lick the jelly off his food so he must have an appetite. Good luck.
