Hi guys. I just got a new little 5 year old persian yesterday and was hoping you guys could give me a little advice since she's having a couple of issues. Currently she's secluded in her own bathroom so she can't come in contact with my other cat and she has a vet appointment for Monday (soonest I could get at the clinic I wanted). 1) She's not eating the most/hardly at all. I've heard cats can go off their food for a little while when they're in a new place, but I'm particularly concerned because she's only 4lbs 12ozs and skin and bones. She did eat a couple of teaspoons of tuna last night, but she's barely touched any of her normal food or any of the other stuff the shelter suggested I put out to entice her. Should I get her some pedialite and a syringe and try force feeding her tonight if she doesn't show signs of eating? Is it ok for me to give her a little more tuna? 2) She has accidents. I knew this would be an issue and I'm prepared to deal with it. She will not go in a litter box that is even the least bit dirty. I try to get it as soon as I can, but since she's having runny poops right now since the shelter just put her on Science Diet ID, she's gone outside of her box a few times. She has two litter boxes with her in hopes of combating this a bit (it's also why she's currently in the bathroom and not a bedroom). Is this something that will hopefully improve as she has more consistent bowel movements? Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm home most of the time since I'm a writer, so checking the boxes every couple of hours isn't a problem. There will be days where I will be gone for 8hrs plus though, so I have my concerns. However, since our floors are tile in most of the house, I don't mind cleaning up accidents. 3) she has gone poop/pee three times since we brought her home despite drinking and eating little? Is this a huge concern or is it a good sign that she's actually having bowel movements?
