Answer 1

Feed her whatever she eats. If she has a high-quality dry food between wet foods, or in addition to the wet, she'll be fine. If she likes the meow-mix, use it. Otherwise, try a pate-texture food. One of my cats won't eat anything with chunks in it, but the pate is good. Another one only eats the gravy, and the other cats finish the food.

Answer 2

You have tried a lot of the good canned foods. Meow Mix is not a good food, nor is Fancy Feast. Tuna is a definite no-no. It causes severe vitamin deficiencies in cats and is highly addictive.

Sometimes you just have to get tough with cats. My cats eat a raw meat mixture (with a powdered supplement) and I had to fast some for two days to get them to accept it. Recently had to convert a kibble addict to the raw. He only ate about 1 tbp a day for a week, then keep eating more. At first he would only eat the turkey I prepared, now he is also eating the chicken. So it can take a while. It's taken a couple of months to get him completely off the kibble and to the better diet, eating the same amount as the other cats and recovering the weight he lost after his surgery.

Cat must eat something every day and the amount is not that important as they will adjust.

I also add filtered water to canned Wellness, Natural Balance, etc. That makes it soupier and more like a gravy.

Many homeopathic vets suggest fasting cats and dogs for one day every week so don't be afraid to do that. Hopefully your cat won't hold out more than 36 hours as that is the max you can go.

Answer 3

wow i,ve never even herd of 3/4 of those brands, but anyways, my cats like plain ol friskies wet, they get all purina foods, fancy feast dry, indoor formula dry, kitten chow dry, adult formula dry, and the new naturals dry,and they also get friskies wet, but they only like certain ones. mine too loves the gravy, they like poultry platter, turkey and cheese with gravy, mariners catch, seafood dinner and the occasional can of lamb and rice its cheaper too, good luck

Answer 4

Fancy feast

Answer 5

one of my cats also only likes the juice from the canned food...I just add a little water and moosh it around...she mostly eats dry, so she gets nutrients elsewhere...
