    Have you looked at his poo?
    Is there undigested food in there?
    Is it “odd” or “normal” looking?

    He has normal poop with no bits in it and yes, I looked have had it checked two times in the past 7 days, he has no parasites, no bugds no disease no blood, no constipation he just wont eat.

    Are you sure his portions aren’t so big that he’s not just eating his fill but it’s hardly making a dent?
    He should be having a portion that’s measured out according to his height/weight/age.

    Boneless chicken breast, lamb? high grade beef? Pork mince, beef mince 99% lean, fish lean, eggs organic? cottage cheese? yogurt, kibbles from two top brands? all teh good quality canned food? Dry food soaked in freshly cooked chicken stock from lean chicken which he refuses to eat? Pasta and mince, Ground turkey breast? Fresh calf liver? Good god there is nothing else I can imagine feeding him, I make the porridge, I make other things the vet recommended NOTHING he wont eat, only thing he might eat once in a long while is raw mince beef, and I will not serve this to him on the days he is giving me problems. I made a doggie meat loaf, eggs, barley, peas and carrots crushed up, beef, pork and chicken mince, potatoes, come on man, dont tell me he is eating bad food.

    He peed out side, I brought him for a small run in the basement, he has loads of energy, made him        kibbles and the beef stock he refuses it. What is he living on

    At a rough guess you feed him, he turns his nose up so you up the anti and give him something else a bit more tempting, he is now holding out to see what else he can get. Stop trying to tempt him, make his meal, put it on the floor, walk away and let him get on with it, if he turns his nose up pick it up and no food or treats until after next mealtime, if you do this consistently he will eat, it may take 2 -3 days but he will not starve

    Also if he’s been pumped full of treats/snacks all day he may just be too full to eat.

    As I said a zillion times, I weight the food I put before him, everythig is weighed to see if it is dented and it is not.

    NOOOOO, I do not give him snacks, that is not an option here, he will get microscopic tid bits for training that may amount to a thumb nail at the very max

    Yes, read before I said the size of his bowl, if anythign it is under the amount, he only eats at any time about 6 to 7gm of dried food at very most, other times a bit more but not anything to write home about. Right now he is humping, maybe he lives off this LMAO ;D ;D ;D and I am not paying him mind he is playing and fine, live off the humping 😮

    I got him at 750gm and now he is 1358gm so he aint getting smaller.

    I have seen cats bigger,  ::)
    he is young, still on 3 meals a day,and he is gaining weight  make a diary of everything he eats, meals or treats like apples training treats, he may be eating more than you realize don’t forget he only has a small stomach,
