This is a great tip for people who don't have the time and/or money to go out and buy Parmesan cheese, freeze-dried treats, fish flakes, etc to sprinkle on the food but want to entice their cat to eat a food, either because they are transitioning from dry, expanding their cat's selection, or simply have a cat that doesn't want to eat.
Warm up the bowl itself.
For microwave safe bowls - fill with water and microwave starting at 30 seconds
For non-microwave safe (like metal) - run under steaming water in the sink until the bowl becomes hot to the touch
The heat will transfer up into the food to make it a warmer temperature and will also melt any fat/goo pieces in the food, making it smell even better to your cat. This is how I heat up 'gravy' type foods.
For raw, this is a great way to help bring it up to room temperature without risking cooking the meat.
