My cat won't eat her food, but she eats treats. Why is this happening?

Question

My cat is not really eating her food. I thought it was the brand but when I bought her a brand she does like, she will not eat that as well. She will eat her treats with no problem. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 12 lbs

Try warming it slightly or mixing in a teaspoon of baby food. If Leelee will allow, check her mouth and teeth for signs of periodontal disease (redness, bleeding, swollen gums, loose teeth, bad breath, etc). See your veterinarian for an exam if necessary or if she doesn't eat for more than 2 days. If she has significant periodontal disease, she may need a dental cleaning. If the decreased appetite has another cause, a physical exam and blood work may diagnose it.
