Re: What should I do


My friends cat will only eat wet food if she sprinkles .................. FISH FOOD on it. Might be worth a try.

Re: What should I do


Is she an only cat? Usually only get fussy eaters when there is no competition. I go with putting wet food with a sprinkle of dry on top. If she doesn't eat it at the first offering take it away and put it down again at the next meal. Cat's very rarely become anorexic! but they are great at trying their luck on getting something they prefer. Mine have never been fussy because if they don't eat it when it goes down there are others who definitely will!

Excellent observation; I should have thought of that!!! Leia wasn't at all fussy when Dandy and Patches were alive......

My friend has been doing this with Fudge for years now and she is a very healthy cat.
