When I fed my cat today it simply refused the kibble. What’s going onβ€”is it sick?

A cat that loses interest in food may just be bored with its current kibble or still full from the last meal. Try switching foods or offering an active probiotic to settle the stomach and restore appetite; vitamin C can help too.
