So it's been a few days and she still only accepts the food if I hand feed it to her?
Is this normal? I've kept cats for a while, never seen this shit.

Maybe picking up the food from the bowl bothers/hurts her for some reason?

the increased use of her jaw may lead to enough irritation that she doesn't want to eat. her hunger may overcome the minor irritation that the "normal" amount of feeding causes.

i feed her normally when i can, but typically when she hears me enter the kitchen she comes and asks for the food.

post a pic of your cat. and we can diagnose. sometimes theyre not tumours but diseases like eosinophilic granuloma complex or even a sublingual mucocoele. has a vet diagnosed your cat with an oral tumour? if they have, most likely SCC and therefore most likely pretty invasive. sorry.

Its pretty normal for many animals to only accept hand feeding as their conditions begin to deteriorate. Sorry OP, but it is common and it is a bad sign.
