She's Lost Interest in Her Wet Food?

I've been feeding my cat Sheba Pate for a couple of weeks now, alternating between chicken and turkey flavors. She went from asking for it and gobbling it all up to only nibbling at it or ignoring it completely. This has happened within the past couple of days. I have tried switching to the other flavor when she seems uninterested (although I try to switch back and forth consistently anyway to give her variety), and I always heat her food with water or microwave if she hasn't eaten it all and I have to store it in the fridge.

She's been eating her dry food, although maybe not quite as much as she was before. I have also started to transition her from Purina One Indoor Advantage to Simply Nourish Grain Free dry food over the past few days. The first time she ignored her wet food happened before this transition, though.

Other than that, she's been acting totally normal, maybe even more energetic than usual, if anything. 

Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?

Maybe try other wet food?   Fancy Feast classics are similar in price as Sheba.      

What works for me when my 2 aren't enthusiastic about a certain food is sprinkle some freeze dried treats on top of it.   Works wonders with both of them.

I agree completely.  Often mine get "bored" with the same old thing, so I switch up their foods frequently.  Even then sometimes they don't want wnat they are being served at a particular meal.  So I pull out the "toppers", usually freeze dried chicken and kind of powder it up and sprinkle it on top.  Then I let them have a little piece as an appetizer and then start gobbling up their food.

I third the suggestion of switching foods. My cats are on a rotation. I purchase 24-can boxes of three different wet foods, and once those are finished I switch out to the same amount of three new foods, and then back to the first, etc. This way my cats get a different can variety for each meal, and their food choices rotate about every month and a half. My older boy ate Wellness Chicken Pate for a few months when we first got him. Eventually he stopped eating it altogether and so I decided to go on rotation. Now he eats regularly and doesn't get bored. 

I also think that he developed an allergy to the Wellness because it was the only thing he was eating for so long... rotation also helps make sure that doesn't happen.
