Anyone else have a senior Ragdoll that’s an extreme picky eater?
My Ragdoll is 11 years old and, thankfully, she’s healthy. She’s been like this her entire life, though.
One day she’ll refuse a food completely. The next day she’ll eat the whole portion. The day after that she’ll only eat a third of it. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern.
She has never been food-driven. I’ve tried so many different foods over the years, and even my vet prescribed Mirataz to stimulate her appetite. It didn’t really change anything—she was still just as picky.
At this point I’ve mostly accepted that this is just her personality, but I can’t help worrying about what will happen if she ever gets seriously sick. If she’s already this fussy when she’s healthy, I’m afraid getting enough food into her would be a real challenge.
Has anyone else had a Ragdoll like this, especially one that lived a long life? Did they stay this way, or did you find anything that actually helped?
