My cat will not eat any 'chunks' in wet food (though she will eat dry food). The only food I've found that she'll eat is Meow Mix Tuna & Shrimp because it's kind of soupy and the tuna is very shredded, but still she'll leave any chunks to go bad.
Does anyone know of any other foods that have very small pieces and lots of gravy (almost like a pureed stew)? If so, I need the brand and particular kind (ie tuna).
Thanks!

Thanks for the good suggestions guys! I'll try some of them. And I do leave dry food out always but I needed to fatten her up some (per the vet). She's always been a picky eater and slight of weight. She loves that gravy though! :)

It depends on what you are wanting to feed your cat. Have you tried baby food? If you are just using the food for stuff like treats or worming then this works perfect. I've used it for a sick cat before. It's actually better than the canned cat food because it's pretty much natural meat. It doesn't have the additives like cat food. I wouldn't recomend this for your cat if you feed it to her everyday though. Actually, hard food is better for your cat on an everyday basis because it helps keep her jaw and teeth strong. (Unless your cat is already going toothless) Good luck!

My cat is going through a phase where she's really picky about her wet food too. For awhile, she'd eat Fancy Feast Grilled and Meow Mix in a pouch - Deep Sea Delight with Mackerel in Sauce being her favorite (this has some chunks which I break down before serving). She will not eat the pate style foods. I've tried Wellness, Triumph, Felidae etc. No go. She just sniffs, turns up her nose and walks away from them.
I've now got her eating Weruva, many of their flavors are grain free. I haven't tried the seafood ones yet. So far she's scarfed Nine Liver (chicken and liver), Peking Ducken (chicken and duck), and Funky Chunky (chicken soup-this one has some grains). They have alot of sauce and strands of chicken breast meat (boneless, skinless) as the 1st ingredient. So far so good, she laps up the sauce then goes after the meat. Sometimes I put a little extra water in when she takes a break then she goes back and finishes it.

When you open the can and see chunks in gravy just mash them with a fork. I think this gravy stuff is a gimmick. I've noticed my cats just lap up the juice and leave the chunks too. I wouldn't give in to the gravy bit. Buy her favourite flavour in what is called 'pate'. No gravy at all and no chunks either. If you can get 'Wellness' it's a good brand but ask the pet store and perhaps their own brand has a pate. A nice balance of canned and dry food is best. Also if your pet ever has to go on a special diet she'll be able to handle both and you can get the dry 'grain-free'. Good luck.

9 Lives Super Supper is basically a mashy food. Not a lot of gravy but it is real soft. No chunks. They have a lot of flavors that are mashy and soft without chunks, like chicken and tuna dinner, I get them at the store, 4 can for $1.09 or so.

My cat wouldn't eat chunks in cat food either. She would just lick the gravy and walk away, that is until I started feeding her Merrick. Now she eats it, chunks and all. They have great flavors like Grammie's Pot Pie, Cowboy Cookout, California Roll, Thanksgiving Day Dinner, and several others. They are all natural and very healthy. I've only heard of one cat that tried it that did not like it.

My cat was the same - no chunks, flakes, "bite-size morsels" for him! He would, however, eat Fancy Feast in any flavor. Choose by process of elimination: if it doesn't say "minced," "roasted," "flaked," etc. on the label, you should be fine. I think most of the flavor names end in "feast" (i.e. beef feast). It's not soupy (and not the best food, but if your cat is particular), but the meat is ground up. Also, Pro Plan has some varieties your cat may eat - they should say "ground" on the can, and there are photos of the food on the label so you can see the texture.

Taste of the wild and it is rated 4 stars. Both of my kittens and my adult do great on it. I would love to raw feed both my dogs and my cats but I am just not able at this time but later in the future I am def planning on it. They will get water added in to make it wet or they will get Blue Buffalo wet food either or.
