@TAB @Oaktree cat is refusing water but eating, gave her some veterinary grade powdered goats milk which is recommended for cats and dogs. She had a few sips of goats milk but possibly did not like the taste. Shes been having wet tinned food and soup pouches for cats from the supermarket. I will ring the ranger from the council Monday to take her the the pound. Will leave out the goats milk and see if she drinks more

I thought the cat was possibly dehydrated @TAB requiring some kind of fluids like goats milk or bone broth which you can make going by an online vet nurse's you tube video. She said if cats refuse water thats what you do. She also has some kind of an ear condition, constantly shaking her head and trying to scratch ear. Could be an atopic ear condition due to allergy or something else. Could develop further. I had a dog with a similar atopic ear infection and he required ear drops and trips to the specialist and normal vet on a fortnightly basis. I just wondered why she was not drinking whether it was something more serious, an underlying condition. But her ears are giving her trouble. That happened with my dog requiring drops, steroid creams and injections which i had to do myself. I kept him alive for 13 years
