My cat is stressed and won't eat after new animals. What to do?

Question

We got 2 pet lambs a couple of weeks ago because they nearly died since they weren't getting enough milk from their mother. We keep them in the garage at night and we put them outside during the day. However whenever we took the lambs home our cat that sleeps in the garage got very unsettled and now she won't eat and the only way I can get her to eat is by putting treats in her food But then she only eats the treats. I was wondering if you us any ideas to get her to start eating again? Thanks. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

It sounds as if the lambs are pretty stressful for Oreo. It's a good idea to make sure Oreo has a place she can get away from the lambs and rest, eat, and use the litterbox without being stressed out. This may help her calm down some and begin eating again. If she doesn't start to settle down after a few days or with changes to help her relax, then a vet check may be a good idea to make sure a stress-related illness hasn't started.
