My youngest furbaby Turtle (who turns 1 next week!) seems to be the most finicky eater I've ever had. She flat out refuses to eat anything wet! I have tried a dozen different brands, textures and flavors - no luck. I've tried adding canned tuna and the juice or just tuna by itself - nada. I tried catmilk and a gravy specially made to add to cat food to make it tasty - nope. Baby food earned me a haughty look of disgust. Everything I've tried gets the same reaction: a sniff, a taste, then dramatic scratching to cover it up like it's the stinkiest thing in the world!
I have 7 other kitties that all like wet food (although Autumn doesn't like anything fish flavored). I feed them a urinary tract health formula dry food throughout the day, and 1/4 can of the same formula of wet food at night and add their Lysine to that (I have one cat that has a high urinary ph, and this food seems to keep it at a normal level). Everyone has to eat the same thing - it's simply impossible to feed 8 cats all something different and keep everyone to their own food.
So what do I do with Miss Finicky Turtle? How do I get Lysine into her without forcing it down her throat like medication? I wanted her to eat wet food to add moisture to her diet to help her kidney function (she has no problems yet - she's only 1), but she likes NOTHING wet. What do I do?

also, RC special 33 contains lysine [added] in the kibble. Pixel's done much better since i started using this for their kibble. prior to that, i used to add it to the water... she also won't eat wet, or baby food, or anything else of that nature!
