Our cat Spooky disappeared for a few days and when she returned was having issues swallowing. At first she seemed eager to eat, but then when she tried to swallow she acted as if it hurt and now we can't get her to eat. She had already lost several pounds when she came home, and we used a flashlight to look in her mouth and throat and can't see any obstructions. She's also drooling. After trying to eat she makes weird swallowing movements like she's trying to get the food to go down. What could be wrong, and how can we get her to eat? We really don't have money for a veterinarian.

My cat is more leaning towards cancer, increased lymphocytes and neutrophils in blood work .... being sent to pathologists for confirmation.. should hear back tomorrow. Just noticed some hard swallowing this past week that sometimes leads in to a wet cough. She seems to be eating fine at this point and I usually recognize this behavior in the middle of the night when I wake up to it. Her doctor is also checking her thyroid. Is there a reason why this is being triggered at night, or is there anyway to make her more comfortable at this point?

Our cat is a 12yo male and has always had an odd way of eating. He only likes dry kibble and was eating Hills Science Diet Urinary/hairball for quite some time. He usually starts eating fine but after a couple pieces he begins lapping at his food, then bites and let’s most of the kibble pieces fall out. He rummages like this for some time and eats about 1/3 of what goes in his mouth-dropping all the rest. He also doesn’t like any of the crumbs which have come in contact with his saliva and fallen out of his mouth. More recently it dawned on me to try a smaller kibble in case the other was just too big and hard on his aging teeth, but I find he still licks most of it and consumes very little but has a strong appetite. I have noticed he does eat pieces of ham and prefers the elevated level used when I offer him pieces from above. I took him to vet, blood is fine, xrays fine and ultrasound is fine - no tumors, cancer, paralysis, drooling/salivary issues or tooth problems. Next conclusion is neurological. He’s always eaten in an awkward manner and vomiting food is more frequent then any other cat I’ve owned. He’s losing weight more rapidly and I’m guessing that whatever the issue is, it’s becoming worse with age. His only other health problem is feline hyperesthesia syndrome - also neurological. My question is - if it’s neurological and he doesn’t have a tumor or recent trauma, how do we resolve this? Should we anticipate feeding him by hand at an elevated position for years to come?
