Red face Finding a wet food my two girls will eat!

Hi,
I'm new here, I have two long-haired black cats. They are mother and daughter, Midnight and Morgan. They are about 10 and 8. We rescued them from a bad living situation.

Anyhoo, I have been feeding them JWB with the occasional treat of tuna or prawns, and other meaty treats.

I am trying to get them on a better diet ,mainly wet. First I got them on Applaws dry, they love it. I have been giving them Applaws wet once a day. Now I know this is a complementary food and am trying to find a complete they will eat.

Purely the fish one- hated it
Nature's Harvest- hated it
HiLife turkey pate- hated it

They seem to only like the shreds not the pate or chunks. What a couple of fussy madams!

have any of you struggled like this and what did you do?
Any advice would be helpful, ie, foods that might be a similar texture.

Thanks

Sainsburys have a new range of shredded style foods in both tins and pouches ( normally 60p each for 85g but currently both on special offer. It is the range below their Encore. It is labelled as complete, although Hobbs may be able to give us more detail on that score. Both seem pretty popular here with my gang and current foster kitties.

Ps Encore is an own brand version of Applaws, so you could try that dry food from sainsburys as well.

I think Sainsburys has stopped selling encore dried. It has in my area and when I asked they said they weren't stocking it any more.
