How to Get a Picky Cat to Eat
Try strong-smelling foods. Your cat's appetite is stimulated by smells. This is because cats have a much keener sense of smell than humans, but a far less sensitive sense of taste. This also explains why they like canned or wet cat food and tuna fish.
Increase the moisture content. While some cats prefer dry food, others dislike the lack of moisture. Try adding water to it. You can also mix wet or canned food or tuna with dry food.
Once your cat finds a favorite, stick with it. Frequently changing your cat's diet causes and increases picky eating habits. Once you discover a flavor or combination that your cat will eat well consistently, stay with it unless your veterinarian advises otherwise.
