Please do not ever let your cat miss more than 1 day of meals, especially if they are overweight at all! They can get a very serious liver-related disease (hepatic lipidosis). I would also advise against mixing wet and dry food if it is to be left out for any period of time (dry food is very susceptible to bacteria growth when moistened).
As for texture, there are several 'chunky' canned foods that might be more enticing to an all-kibble kitty than pates. You can also place a little wet food on the edge of the plate for several meals so they get used to the scent & then are (supposedly, I haven't tried it) more likely to eat it. Or of course if they will eat a flavor of Fancy Feast or whatever, mix a little healthy wet in w/that & gradually change the balance to switch them over (I did this w/Nat. Variety Instinct).
