My cats are EXTREMELY picky when it comes to wet food. Right now, Solid Gold Tuna Blend is the only wet food they will eat. (They also eat the Solid Gold dry food -- I've tried Nutro Indoor formula but they really prefer the Solid Gold). I'm not sure, however, that giving them this food everyday is healthy. I remember reading once that cats should not eat tuna too regularly -- I don't remember why, though.

Any advice?

Solid Gold has put in viatimins and minerals in their tuna so it isnt like human... I just talked to my vet and it should be okay as long as you are giving dry or another canned .... if yours like the solid gold dry you should look at the regular natural choice as they have two meats the indoor has one..

The main thing is that they're eating at least some canned, and Solid Gold is a good one. Why not give them the Solid Gold Dry, which is lamb, not tuna, if they like it, and alternate it with another dry food? My Solid Gold fan will also eat Felidae, Natural Balance, and Serengeti dry, if you need some suggestions.
Alternating foods prevents them from getting too fixated on one food, which could be a problem if they later have to eat another food because of supply problems, or need a prescription diet.

Thanks for your advice! I already do feed them Solid Gold Dry but I will try mixing it with one of the ones you suggest -- Felidae, Natural Balance, Serengeti.

Twitch loves the Solid Gold Blended Tuna, too. So, I got sneaky. I mixed increasing portions of a differnet kind of food in with the solid gold blended tuna. That way, she learned that the new flavor way good.

I don't know if you have tried that yet or not, but it might help get your kitties to eat other wet food.

That's a good idea. I just hate it when I waste a can of cat food on them (and I've tried almost all brands and flavors: Innova, Wellness, Nutro, etc.) When it's not Solid Gold Tuna blend, they sniff it, walk away, and sulk the rest of the evening!
I think the sneaking-new-food-in strategy may be my only option!
