Why is the old kitten fussy?

She didn’t seem to like the flavour of wet food I opened and despite adding yummy toppings doesn’t want to eat it (so is skimping on taking her medicine). I syringed the pain meds into her mouth last night but gave her anti nausea meds today and keep trying to get her to eat the breakfast.

She keeps jumping up on the wardrobe door to demand attention but won’t lead me to anything to show what’s wrong. She’s already done a poo which got scooped away fast, has clean litterboxes, fresh water, the biscuits got shaken to fix the bowl hole she ate into them, wet food right there…

Maybe she’s just bored of the food and feels bad after not having enough of her meds that were mixed in.

She has now patted at me until I let her lie on me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Does she like watching cat videos?

I have tried showing her bird videos but she doesn't seem to take notice.

I bought bird seed and sprinkle outside the windows or backdoor. Mine sits there all day.

She ignores most but seems a bit anxious or startled with some (where the cat is crying, or kittens)
