My Cricket will only eat wet food that has mackerel. It took me a very very long time to find these foods that she will accept: Weruva Cats in the kitchen and Soulistic, 3 flavors that all contain Mackerel. And funny enough, my other cat Austin wants nothing to do with them. He eats Fancy Feast Pate.
They both supplement with dry.

I'm not quite in that situation but it's darn close at times. It gets extremely frustrating and also worrisome.

Have you tried adding a food topper like purée . Sometimes I gotta do that with mine . She’s picky and she’s been that way since I got her and she’s almost 2 lol try the blue buffalo tasteful purrre pouches . Maybe that will work u can even add it on top of the wet food and try that .

Yeah but only once. I had bought several pouches of tiki toppers - didn't go too well. I have lots of that stuff left - no harm trying it again. Tonight she seemed to no longer want the Blue Buffalo - and we only started it yesterday. Can't see how she got tired of a new food in less than 24 hours! I'd really like to find a way to still work the cosequin in. Even if half a chew is powdered and mixed in with some of the wet food, she can sniff it out and doesn't eat that part. Guess I could try going back to the Antinol capsules (used to squeeze them open and put the liquid on the wet food). She ate that way for years, but then she got tired of that also. Just have to keep experimenting with it. I think my next animal is a DOG!!!

Hahaha lmao wow

The thing is she seems spoiled haha and also I used to do the same thing . She baby girl would turn her nose up . I would give her something different well I ended up realizing can’t always afford to do so . Maybe just let her eat her dry food for a few days without anything special . Then try again , mine is the same way

Yeah I agree...spoiled. No more Mr. Nice Guy. I put 3 different kinds of wet food in her bowl this morning. Turned her nose up at it and walked away. So be it. I'm not going to stress over this. I figure she won't starve herself if she's truly hungry.
