My 5 month old cat (Dave hehe) has always been a bit of a fussy little so and so when it comes to food - outright refusing to eat certain brands of both dry and wet food. We thought we'd got him used to a certain type of dry food with him starting to only eat that and not wet food too.

Now he's started being really fussy again, refusing to eat just the dry food and not eating anything like as much as he did when we mix wet and dry together. He's still drinking plenty of water and seems as lively (read: mental) as ever but it's a bit concerning.

Any advice? smile

Try raw. Watch him devour it.

He'll eat when he's hungry & stop being fussy! wink

Not a lot you can do except try the different brands & flavours again until you find on he likes.

Beauty is fussy - although she likes wet & dry, mostly dry. She goes mad for her breakfast & dinner (1/2 a Sheba shared with Pepi - they only get wet so I can give Pepi tablets!) but on,y ever eats 1/2 of it, less sometimes - she sniffs, has a drink of water & then eats the dry food

Which food are you using?

Upgrade to Lily's Kitchen and watch them scoff.

Tesco own brand dry kitten food and Hi-Life wet kitten food, he was content with either until recently.

Go-to wet food is Tesco own brand kitten food, he seems to eat that regardless of how fussy he's feeling.

Kat is extremely fussy and only really eats this from the pet shop, although recently he has started to eat Sheba.

He doesn't touch chicken or fish at all. confused
