    Our 17 year old cat (who we’ve had since she was 18 months old) has never had any interest in wet cat food. At best she would lick it the gravy off then walk away. We recently adopted a 4yo who had gotten used to getting wet food in the morning while he was living with a foster.

    Now 17yo lady comes to beg for wet food every morning and won’t leave me alone about it. So the wet food gets split between them - he gets briefly shut in a room with his half and she gets to lick her plate in peace. Then 5 minutes later I let him out to come eat the food I gave her.

    If she weren’t old and suffering kidney disease I might not be so inclined to humor her.

      I’ve got a cat that does the same thing, just licks the gravy, I made the mistake one day of getting the patte, my other cat scarfed it down no problem, but miss priss sat there next to her bowl looking at it then looking at me like um this must be fixed immediately.

        Yeah, ours does the same with the patte. But she’ll scarf down the “Silver Comfort” patte if its in a tube like Churu.
