Question
MY CAT HAS LOST ALL INTEREST IN EATING. HE WILL DRINK HIS WATER. IF HE HAS HEART WORMS WILL IT KILL HIM?HES 4 MONTHS OLD NOW. IVE GIVEN HIM MEDICINE OVER THE COUNTER WILL THAT HELP HIM? THANK YOU
Hi Mary,
What makes you think your kitten has heartworms? Yes, it can kill a cat, but it takes six months to go to the heart, so your kitten doesn't have heartworms now. There are many things that it could be , too many to guess. You really should take him to a Vet. If he isn't eating, then somthing is definetly wrong.
God Bless

Expertise
I am not a breeder,so please direct any breeding and/or birthing questions to an "expert" that is. I love all cats but my favorites are the Rex and Siamese. I used to show Cornish Rex as a hobby but have not been able to for a few years. Right now I have three Siamese and one Cornish Rex. As a former veterinarian assistant, I can help you with general healthcare issues. Being a cat owner for years, I will be glad to answer any behaviour and/or nutrition questions too. Please remember, I am NOT a Veterinarian, so if your kitty is seriously ill, please do not hesitate to contact a Vet.
