We have a female cat now 14 months. She has always been a fussy eater. Dry food is fine but wet food is much more of an issue. After much trial and error we found Seriously Good Chicken Breast Flakes in Broth from Pets at Home. As she moved to being an Adult she was prepared to eat Seriously Good Chicken Breast with Asparagus which has virtually the same texture.

Sadly Pets at Home have just discontinued these foods and the only Seriously Good brands and now in jelly which she won't touch.

I imagine other people may face the same problem soon,.

We have tried her on Applaws which looks similar but she says is no good.

We can move her onto a dry complete meal but I prefer her to have some moist food as well.

Any suggestions?

If they are fussy then one has to keep trying , my boy would simply sniff & look then walk away or sit there waiting for his normal food. Luckily for me my 13 y/o fussy boy has been tempted by food I put down for my adorable 18 m/o calico , he now will often eat her food and vice aversa .
I now have 5 or 6 brands he will eat rather then just one or two.

Scrumbles Turkey is another good one that is a winner with my three , they prefer it much more then the tri selection in the boxes. I now buy it direct from Scrumbles as the stock levels in Sainsburys at the moment is poor with some of their favorite foods.

I have also been feeding our two kittens on Seriously good (but Bistro kitten) from PAH because initially it was the only wet food Evie would eat. It’s been getting harder and harder to source any and so we are trying various other high quality grain free, high meat content recipes. So far they like Scrumbles, Blink and some of the Cool Cat club recipes. They also liked Untamed but it was too rich for Evie. Some of these do low cost trial packs. You have to sign up for a subscription to get this but the Untamed one was really easy to cancel without taking more than the trial. They also like Hi life which is a bit cheaper.

It can be challenging when your cat has specific preferences and the food they enjoy gets discontinued. Here are a few suggestions to explore alternative wet food options for your fussy eater:
  1. Experiment with different textures and flavors: Just like humans, cats can have preferences for specific textures or flavors. Try offering a variety of wet food options, such as pâtés, chunks in gravy, or shredded varieties, to see if your cat shows a preference for a particular texture. You can also try different flavors to find something that appeals to her taste buds.
  2. Mix wet and dry food: If your cat enjoys dry food, you can mix it with a small amount of wet food to add moisture and variety to her diet. Gradually increase the ratio of wet food to dry food over time, encouraging her to accept the wet food component.
  3. Home-cooked or raw food: If you're open to it, you can consider preparing home-cooked or raw food for your cat. However, it's important to consult with a veterinarian or a veterinary nutritionist to ensure the meals are nutritionally balanced and appropriate for your cat's needs.
  4. Cat food toppers: Another option is to use cat food toppers or mixers to enhance the flavor of your cat's current dry food. These products come in various forms, such as freeze-dried meat, broths, or gravy, which can entice your cat to eat and provide additional moisture.
  5. Consult with a veterinarian: If you're having trouble finding a suitable wet food option for your cat, it may be helpful to consult with your veterinarian. They can offer personalized recommendations based on your cat's specific dietary needs and preferences.
Remember, it's important to transition your cat to new foods gradually to avoid digestive issues. Patience and persistence are key when trying to find the right wet food for your fussy eater. Also read Cat Eat Raw Food to get more useful information that may also helpful to you.
