My sick cat won't eat or chew food. What can I do until the vet?

Question

Hi, I'm taking care of this cat Lulu and since a few days she had this weird way of walking, her butt got all skinny and she stopped eating since yesterday. She doesn't want wet food and doesn't seem able to chew the dry one. I tried to force feed her but she moves too much. What can I do ? (NP vet around me until Monday). Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 5 lbs

She really needs to see a vet when you can get her to one. In the meantime, try feeding her human baby food (meat flavors) and other soft foods. Make the food very soupy like water so she can lap it up. If she won't eat it, you should try syringe feeding again. Watch these YouTube videos on how to accomplish this: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAp24386UUg ) ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECPS4PFgRqg ) Hope this helps. Best wishes.
