It will tell something wrong with cat or dog if their nose are dry. I check Sussi´s nose... It is still wet which mean is she has no problem to smell anything but the problem is her memory loss. She have no interesting to anything except butter and milk.

Also, if kitty's teeth hurt, then kitty won't want to eat. It sometimes helps to switch to a real soft food.

Yes, that´s right... I noticed that Sussi have mud on her mouth as she tried to get mud out of plants to "rub" her mouth... until I found out that she get mud from plant to rub her teeth to aviod pain... Interesting.
Yes I made soft with fork on cat food with fork that it´s easy for her to chew...
