I do keep pushing the food on him till he eats something. I don't know which foods are "mousse type" can you list some please? I usually use Pate, but he seems to have given up on canned cat food for the time being. If he's gonna eat something I don't think the texture matters because he will eat the kibble or chunks of cooked chicken. After lunch today I had to go to the store so I got him another different kind of kibble and he actually ate a few bites of it. I think the packaged kibble loses its odor after its been opened. I got a sample of Kiwi lamb kibble in the mail today but he didn't eat any of it. It was Lamb. Thanks for the helpI have struggled so hard with getting my cat to eat. She was a nibbler even before she got sick and I could never free feed her because we have a piggy in the apartment that will steal all the other cats food and human food too!
I have to sit with Mika, stir up the food I get her (a mousse wet food because she licks wet food instead of taking chunks to eat), and keep putting it in front of her. When she refuses it more than 3 times, I give her a 20 minute break and go back at it till she finishes all of her food. It may take an hour but otherwise she'll ignore her food till it's all dry, crusty and probably teeming with bacteria from sitting out anyway.
I don't have her on dry food really because she wont touch it. Have you considered giving him a mousse type of food to see if he'll eat that like the baby food?
