I'm feeding my 2yo cat 1/2 of a 5.5 oz can twice per day. She has lately (the last month or so) become more picky with foods. She used to like Hound and Gatos, but definitely doesn't care for the chicken liver lately and isn't 100% interested in the Turkey either. She does like Rawz turkey + liver and hopefully some of the other cans I have (just got in some Tiki).
For those who rotate wet foods, do you worry if your cat doesn't finish a meal? I feel like Echo used to finish her meals within an hour or two, but her HG turkey is about 1/2 finished and it's been a couple hours and I put a topper on it to get her to eat at dinner (she has always gotten toppers though and pretty much expects them now).
I've fallen into the habit of worrying about her not finishing a meal and adding more topper to get her to eat more, so maybe she is also manipulating me some? She definitely has appetite and like I said, eats full meals of certain foods. Maybe I just keep trying with cans she's not interested in (possibly because I bought a CASE and then she decides not to love it!). She wasn't really picky as a kitten, would eat up her 3/4 meal right away and the rest shortly after, but as she's getting older is getting a little picky (and again, maybe my caving into her wanting more toppers is working against me?). I just don't know if I should worry. Should I expect her to pretty much eat most of her 1/2 can within an hour or so, or does it depend on the cat and the age?
