My cat won't eat after moving and going outside. What should I do?

Question

So, my cat won't eat. We recently moved and she was eating fine at the old house. At the new house, she won't eat. She also keeps going outside, which I am assuming is one of the problems. I have tried multiple different foods, but she doesn't seem to like any of them. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female

If Calliope is going outside, likely she is getting food from another source, such as another house. Frequently cats who go outdoors find other homes to go to where they get fed. I'd try keeping her indoors for a week or two, this way you can monitor her and see if she really isn't eating. If she doesn't eating for longer than 24 hours after keeping her indoors, then I would take her into a vet right away. When cats don't eat for at least 72 hours, they develop a fatty liver which is fatal without treatment. It's important to avoid this, which is why I recommend a vet visit after 24 hours of no eating. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
