Kiki stopped eating dry food about a month ago and then started eating it again, but now he is back to not eating his dry food, I currently feed him Meow Mix dry and he won't eat it and i have tried almost all the brands the store has, but he won't touch it and just a couple days ago he ate Meow Mix and now he just won't.

Welcome to cat servitude. My cats do the same thing. Mine are on a canned only diet and I keep a good variety of foods in the house for the rotation but they often will turn their nose up at a food that they just ate recently without issue. They are very, very picky. When they do that I put that food in the back and then reintroduce it after they decide they don't like something else which is guaranteed to happen sooner than later. 

It's harder for them to adjust to new dry foods without a transition.Try adding some wet food to his diet and use the dry as a topper. You can rotate wet foods much easier than dry.

I give my cat Fancy Feast and Friskies wet alone cause Kiki does not like when i mix foods, so i don't think i will use wet food as a topper.

I rotate Friskies and Fancy Feast.

He's eating the  FF and the Friskies? That's good. Maybe he's trying to tell you that that's what he wants instead of the dry. 

The joys of picky eaters.  My Henry was such a good eater until the diva sisters got a hold of him. Now he's almost as picky as they are.
