Why is my cat suddenly eating so slowly and not finishing meals?

Question

My cat who is typically a slow eater has begun eating exceptionally slowly and doesn't finish two out of three meals. What would be a reason for eating VERY slowly? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Female | spayed | 11 lbs

Oral pain would be the most common reason. I would recommend that you have Kaya examined by the vet to see if this could be the case. If it has been over a year since her last dental cleaning, it may be time to do it again and have x-rays performed to look for any issues not visible below the gumline.
