Kitten eating less after friends left. How to get her to eat more?

Question

Skye has been bonding with 2 other kittens for the last month and a half. She is eating significantly less than normal. She prefers wet food and hasnt touched any since the other 2 left a couple days ago. Skye is eating small amounts of dry food, but not as much as she should. Should I be concerned? Is there any way to encourage her to eat more? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 3 months and 18 days old | 9 lbs

I am sorry to hear about Skye! It is possible she could be feeling sad losing her kitty friends. I would consider getting a Feliway diffuser https://www.feliway.com/us/Products/FELIWAY-CLASSIC-Diffuser which can sometimes help relieve stress/anxiety in cats. I would watch her closely for vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, abnormal urinary habits and if any of these occur or if she stops eating then she should see her vet for an examination.
