Cherie a conundrum

Our little girl Cherie, she came to us as a rescue case. She was nearly bald (cause unknown but the vet thinks stress) she was covered in fleas and ghastly underweight and just tiny.

Almost a year later no fleas much fatter and a million times healthier. Fluffy shiny coat bright eyes and loves to fetch.

Here is the issue, she loves dry kibble, I feed fancy feast chicken classic 2x's a day and kibble is down to supplement should they be hungry between wet feedings.

All the others may nibble on it twice a week (and we do change it everyday) but Cherie totally ignores the wetfood and will only pig out on the dry kibble. We have tried every flavor of wetfood from Tiki Cat to Royal Canin and all textures. She just doesn't want wet food, even if I try and wet kibble she will have nothing to do with it. I will add we have a pet fountain and she drinks 2-3 times a day. She's just hates wetfood. Does anyone have any advice? Tips? I've tried wet food warm, room temperature, little wet, really wet.. Idk what else to do..

Have you tried mixing a little wet food into the kibbles? Start with a lot of kibbles and slowly reduce the ratio towards more wet food? 

Some cats are weird and refuse dry/wet food. I have one that absolutely refuses to eat kibbles. It has to be wet food, even cheapo brands of wet she'll eat before kibbles.

Ah hah! That I haven't tried that! Thanks! They can be such finicky things lol. We love her though, I'm going to try that!

If yo find something that works, LET ME KNOW!  I have tried every trick, plan, plot, ruse and connivance known to man to try and get that dratted tortie I live with to eat wet food.  She drinks like a camel at an oasis, so that isn't a real issue, but I've found nothing that will get her off of the darned kibbles.

Well glad I'm not alone I've heard several people complain their kitty's love wet food and I say, I wish Cherie did lol. She won't even eat tuna and sticks her nose up to tuna water. Our others would rip the cans of tuna open themselves if we allowed it lol.

Hekitty does drink tuna water.  In fact, all I have to do is say "Hey, Hek, tuna soup!" and she somehow levitates to the top of the fridge, from where she peers down at me, mao mao mao-ing all the while.
