Making a gravy with the pate by adding a couple tablespoons of hot, from the kettle, to the food and stir it up and see if that is more palatable to her. Don't add too much but enough to break up the pate and maybe she'll eat more of the solid stuff.

I just used tap water, though.
I'll try hot water.

I've been giving that and dry food as well, since that's what he was given when I first got him. But I'm planning to ask the vet if he has suggestions for something more nutritious. I tend to ask their vets what's the best food to give my dogs and cats.

Not sure about the Medleys. Will get some to try.

Thanks.

I can only find the chicken, tuna and salmon in the store, but there's also turkey. He likes the chicken and turkey the best.

Mikey will only eat pate. Otherwise he'll eat the gravy. I tried giving him that Harmony stuff, he ate it then went outside and deposited it on the sidewalk.

I made a deal with him about the food choices and we never had a problem after that. Probably go out and see him next week when it's a little warmer, I need some kittylove.

I was sure he wouldn't eat them and planned to give them to my friend with cats, but I tried them and now he expects them, though he leaves the big pieces. I'm not sure how good they are for him, need to ask the vet, but he prefers them to his food!

And this cat is very affectionate, in fact he demands attention. My friend has a daughter who rescues cats and the other two kitties are female, younger and smaller - and the littlest one was afraid of him, sequestered herself on a shelf in the bathroom. So she offered me this kitty who reminded me of my grandmother's cat when I was little, the first cat I loved, and he couldn't have worked out better.

Both my cats do. Vet advised they should get some wet food - I have the opposite problem, Charlie weighs 21 lb - and limit the dry (do not free feed). They’ll eat half a can of Fancy Feast between them, and every last crumb of kibble. Maybe try some different kinds of dry food to see if she has a preference?

Six, eight, ten, twelve pounds, it seems that most bags of kibble are.

(Friskies or Fancy Feast). I let them go with free feeding dry kibble for a couple years but, last month I bought 7 different brands and put a spoonfull of each on a large platter. Neither cat did more than a cursory sniff and then walked away.

He'd just lick the gravy. For years we'd only buy FF or Friskies with gravy or sauce and push the lid down to squeeze out the gravy or sauce for him and the other guys were happy to eat the bits or morsels or whatever was left.

Tried the gravy that was sold separately but he didn't like it. Thought maybe it was a dental issue but vet said it wasn't and he ate kibble and crunchy treats just fine.

Have recently ordered Friskies Lil' soups but they're sold as food complements, not as full nutrition. Perhaps they'd add the moisture needed if the dry food is covering nutritional needs. Skippy lived long and well with his gravy and dry food. Hoping the soups help for my current finicky eater who also preferes the gravy to the meat.

...for starters, and if it works, gradually increase the pate.

We are very lucky. Our 4 cats will eat anything. One of them even likes spinach, arugula, and cauliflower.
