not to sound like a d!ck but im pretty certain that no cat will go on hunger strike and starve to death because of it, the hunger always wins out, i am fairly certain there was more to the death than that. just be on alert for your other cats to show any signs of anything wrong.
RIP Channel Cat :(

imo there is something wrong with what your testing with and i still think there is something going on with the tank, personally i would do a large water change everyday for the next 3-5 days, get an api dropper master test kit (i have personally had good luck with mine thats why i recommend it) and test the water daily. you had your tank up for 3 months but added all fish at once 2 weeks before the problem started, that is a big jump in bio load all at once.

I wonder what makes them jump out and what makes them anorexic
Sometimes when he would swim really fast around the top of the pond really close to the surface and I left the lid off I'm thinking he just flopped out on accident. He was a good 15' away from the pond when I got home and completely dry. I put my hand In his mouth to pick him up and he gave me a nip so I put him back in the pond and he started breathing and did so for about a hr before he died
. He was a tough cat and I'll miss himperfect_prefect;4261620; said:
I will try and get one of those test kits like you said, and yeah I also agree that something is going on all the other cats are eating and look fin, I mean there is still the occasional nipped fin from the Upsidedown cats, but other than that they seem fine. I will be doing a 75% w/c today, and a few 50% the next couple days, hopefully the problem clears up.
