Right I know I've posted a question like this before about dry and wet food , well I have given Sophia wet and dry food together and she doesnt seem to eat it aswell as just having dry... so do you think I should just give her dry food?

Dry Food

I wouldn't advise mixing the two together. I have heard of putting a couple pieces of the dry on top of the wet to get their interest though.
I'd just suggest you try different brands and types. Some cats don't like the pate type, some prefer chunks, some like other types. I know it took me trying about 8 different types and brands before I found what Bijou and Mika would eat in wet food. Since Bijou was gaining so much weight on the dry food diet alone and I learned how important a wet diet was, I was adamant that I was going to find at least one wet food they would eat.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Kitten or cat food - the advice is the same.Originally Posted by PinkRhinos4

Some cats don't take very well to wet food, and some would eat only wet if given the choice, and some actually do. Each cat/kitten is different. I would advise just trying different textures (chunks in gravy, chunks in broth, pate), different flavors (beef, chicken, tuna, liver, etc) and different brands. Zoey ate wet food really really well until I let her try some Friskies chunk-style and Meow Mix, and now she doesn't like the "healthier" stuff like Nutro & Natural Life which are both loaf/pate-style foods. I just put a spoonful of what she likes on top of a spoonful of the good stuff and that way she eats the healthy food and enjoys it too.
I would first try putting some of her dry kibble on top to get her interest. If that doesn't work, just try some different types. There's bound to be one she will like.

What wet food are you giving her?. My lot won't eat cheap food like Whiskers, plus it makes their stools stink because theres so many animal parts in it
Have you tried HiLife?. It's a bjit more expensive but worth it.

Marks and Spencers cat food goes down well here as well. Mind you it's chunks of fish in a lobster jelly if you please!!

I don't think that they "don't like" wet food...I think they just prefer dry food. Sort of like how I would prefer a candy bar over a salad, but one of them is better for me.
I agree with the others...experiment with various brands, textures and flavors.
