Cats are carnivorous animals and are very interested in many fresh meats. Fish and chicken breasts are their favorite delicacies. So what's wrong with some cats not eating chicken breasts? In fact, we have to judge based on other situations. For example, some cats do not eat chicken breasts and only eat cat food, which is normal. Let’s take a look at what to do if the cat doesn’t eat chicken breasts.

1. Chicken breasts are not fresh

Cats do not like to eat stale foods. If the chicken breasts prepared by the owner for the cat are not fresh, the cat will naturally refuse to eat. Therefore, the food your owner usually gives to the cat should be fresh and nutritious. Try not to give to the cat if it is not fresh or spoiled, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort in the cat, diarrhea and vomiting.

2. Not interested in chicken breasts

If the cat has been mainly cat food before and has never eaten chicken breasts, then when the cat just eats chicken breasts, it will feel that it is not interested and does not want to eat. In addition, it may be that the cat is picky about food and thinks the owner is unpalatable. The owner can try chopping the boiled chicken breast into a paste and putting it in the cat food to let the cat adapt slowly.

3. Sick

If a cat used to love chicken breasts and suddenly stopped eating chicken breasts, the owner should pay attention to it. It is very likely that the cat is sick. If this is the case, the owner should also pay attention to the mental state of the cat, whether the urination and defecation are normal, whether there are symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, sneezing, runny nose, coughing, etc. If abnormalities are found, it is recommended to go to the pet hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.
