I've been having a real hard time getting Popsie to eat his wet food lately. He really doesn't have much of an appetite right now from being sick. When he does eat he goes for the dry. Anyway, I just brought him a bowl of wet food and when I set it on the floor he wouldn't budge from his spot on the bed. I have know idea why but I picked up the bowl and put it to my face to act like I was eating the food.
Popsie just looked at me like, "welp, she's finally lost it."

That works with my dog, but not Oliver haha

Try adding some tuna juice (ie: drain a can of human grade tuna in water) to his wet food... Oliver will do ANYTHING for tuna juice! It's not a great idea to give this to cats consistently on like a daily basis, but it's ok as an appetite stimulant and occasional treat... worth a shot, plus a nice snack for you too haha (I love tuna noodles or tuna sandwiches)

I had a houseguest who used to tease my boys like that -- she'd pick up their bowl of dry food and act like she was going to eat it. Rocky just ignored her, but Oliver looked really nervous a couple of times!
