Feline Diet: Here's a purromosing tip to make your cat eat wet food

 It's important to distinguish between a cat that doesn't eat at all and one that won't take wet food.

If your cat has never been picky about food or mealtimes, it can be very distressing if they won't eat moist food. 

Because of this, it's possible that you want to move to a wet diet for your cat or that, for unknown reasons, they've decided they no longer like canned or pouched meat, according to Pets Radar.

It's important to distinguish between a cat that doesn't eat at all and one that won't take wet food. In a matter of one to two days, your veterinarian should take care of a cat that isn't eating at all. This is especially important if the cat is exhibiting other symptoms like a cough, altered drinking habits, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or any new or unusual urination issues.

According to Dr. Sara Jane Mollier, there could be a number of reasons why your cat isn't eating wet food. 

It's probable that the food processor altered some of the ingredients or impacted the flavor. It may not always be obvious from the packet, but your cat will most likely notice.

Wet food leaves more residue in the bowl than kibble, thus it gets dirty more rapidly. Even if the bowl seems clean, cats have very keen senses of smell. Similarly, remnants of strongly scented beverages could aggravate your cat.

If your cat is suddenly not interested in eating their wet food, it's always a good idea to check the use-by date. Cats have strong instincts, therefore they don't eat food that is about to spoil.

Furthermore, your cat's refusal to eat wet food may possibly be the result of her personal choice.
