The Cat Thread

This is exactly what my cat does, although more so in summer when she eats less.

I only give her half a small packet a day to save waste with dry food available all day - she is a grazer and doesn't gourge like some cats will.

I just wish they would sell packets of jelly TBH

Try mashing them right up?

One of my cats was like that for a while.

I've had reasonable success by hacking at the wet food with a pair of scissors so the solids and liquids are more mixed up and harder to separate

Doesn't work 100% as the little bastard always leaves some meat flakes behind, but gets the majority eaten

Yeah my cat was/is like this with most wet food, only ones we've found she'll actually eat are this Wilko's stuff and Tesco's "cat's choice" (which appears to live up to the name)

As others have suggested, mashing them up with a fork has helped, but she definitely isn't happy about it.

My cat does exactly this too with food in gravy (she won’t touch jelly). Most of the solid food goes in the bin, so now we just buy the packets of soup by Sheba, Purina or Felix. They still have solids in them but there’s a lot more gravy, which she loves. She always has kibble in her bowl as she’s not that much of a foodie cat and can be trusted not to over-eat. But yeah, we end up throwing stuff away each day. It’s annoying, but...

There’s also a yoghurt-like product called Lick-e-lix, which she loves too. That comes in tubes and is more of a treat.

My mate Blue can be quite picky sometimes, only interested in jelly. We normally mash a few dreamies in when he's like that and it seems to work!
