Moscato wasn't picky when I first brought her home a little over a month ago. She's the complete opposite now.
I started off feeding her Merrick's pates, then switched her to other brands and types because she had recurring diarrhea and I suspected Merrick was the culprit. Now, she won't touch pates, no matter what the brand is. She also doesn't really like chunks of anything, especially if they aren't coated in some kind of sauce.
She's had just about every flavor and variety of Tiki Cat and at first she would gobble the whole serving up. Now, she licks the gravy and leaves most of the meat, no matter if its chicken, beef, etc.
She's had some Weruva but mainly only seafood varieties. She definitely prefers anything with seafood in it, which I was giving her until I read some posts on here about seafood being bad for cats.
So I'm having a tough time figuring out what to give her. I don't want to keep buying her the expensive high-end brands if all she does is lick the gravy. I can't refrigerate left overs because she won't eat anything that's been chilled. I can't leave the food out when she walks away from the plate because my roommate's cat will come behind her and finish it.
My roommate and I do leave dry food out, but Moscato only occasionally eats it. When she does she usually only takes a bite or two. She's not even four months old and I'm afraid that she's not getting the nutrition she needs because she'll either only lick up gravy or sauce or eat small portions before trying to "bury" the rest.
