My cat isn’t eating her food. She still appears interested, but only will have a tiny bit then walks off. She has been like this for over 24 hours now. She’s a long haired cat and normally has regular fur balls, but she hasn’t had one for a long while. Earlier today she was wretching like she wanted to be sick, but nothing has come up. Does it sound like she might be struggling to pass a fur ball? If so, what can we do to help her? Thanks

It's actually very serious when a cat won't eat. If they go long enough without eating, they will develop a fatty liver. A fatty liver is fatal without treatment. You need to take Tabitha into a vet now to diagnose what is causing her symptoms.
