Both my cats do. Vet advised they should get some wet food - I have the opposite problem, Charlie weighs 21 lb - and limit the dry (do not free feed). They’ll eat half a can of Fancy Feast between them, and every last crumb of kibble. Maybe try some different kinds of dry food to see if she has a preference?

I have tried adding water to the pate. Nope. Grasswire2 Jan 2024 #3

My cat does that, too. The Medleys version has smaller pieces which he will eat, he likes the Chicken Florentine Rhiannon12866 Jan 2024 #2

I have not tried the florentine. Grasswire2 Jan 2024 #4

My cat doesn't like the pate, either, or anything with big pieces. The Florentine has gravy, smaller pieces and just broth Rhiannon12866 Jan 2024 #5

Ha! 2naSalit Jan 2024 #6

Well, you never really know. My brother gave him a box of those Delectables for Christmas, kind of like a stew Rhiannon12866 Jan 2024 #7

Does she prefer the dry food? Freddie Jan 2024 #8

one problem with that is that it's difficult to get small bags of dry food to try. Grasswire2 Jan 2024 #11

My two gradually stopped eating wet food vanlassie Jan 2024 #9

Have you tried mixing a little bit of pate with the kibble? Just a smidge... 3catwoman3 Jan 2024 #12
