So I picked up some natural balance platefuls for Lily to try. Anyone who has read my posts knows how picky she is and how much worse it's gotten since Callie has been gone. Anyway Lily will lick the gravy so that's a plus. And my 10 week old kitten Zoe seems to really like it. It's marked as adult matinance. Is this ok for her? I was able to get her to eat some blue wilderness kitten for a while but I guess she's tired of it. No one eats much hard food either. So Zoe doesn't get much kitten specific food. How much different is adult matinance from kitten?

Kitten food has more stuff that kittens need to grow, so they say.  But if it's all she will eat, then just make sure she eats plenty of it.  Some adult foods don't have very many calories, and kittens needs bunches of them because they are so rambunctious

I agree with @mrsgreenjeens about feeding a lot if that's the main food! I seem to recall that many of those foods have a lot of vegetables so it may take a lot to really sate a young, rambunctious cat. If Lily likes gravy, you might try using a mini food processor to puree a few chunks and see if she'll lap it up that way. I did that for our previous cat when she was very sick: she was always a gravy cat, too, and she ate a lot of those foods if they were pureed.

Good luck! I know it can be hard to feed a picky cat.
