Mine don't even lick the jelly off - they turn up their nose to any wet food!! I'm beginning to think they're not cats!  ;D

I have two cats and one of them still only licks the jelly off As Good As It gets, I have to stand over her until she eats some of the food as well.

The only wet food that Domino won't lick the jelly off and leave the meat is the As Good As it Looks range and then it is the other cats looking disappointed as his dish is that clean.  Must admit this is the only Cat meat he will eat.

Thanks Viovet for cancelling the order and having Purrs look for an alternative source as I have been going to PAH and getting 48 sachets for the £10, without you doing that I would of spent about £5 on 12 sachets.

mone are obviously just beasts :( they eat anything - i ran out the other day so picked some up some in aldi as hip was playing up and dint fancy the walk to sainsburys- i was worried they would turn their noses up as it was cheaper than the felix in gravy kitten stuff they eat but georgia scoffed 2 sachets of the rabbit one in one go and she had had her breakfast so hadnt been starving to death :innocent: Mr Myagi is shaped like a grapefruit covered in fur with 4 legs and a tail- I think he would get the tremours if we ran out of food for more than 10 mins :Crazy: I fear i may be turning into one of those "feeders" as Mr Myagi is a bit of a fat beast :rofl:

My lot wont eat it mashed up either lol, not even Misa who eats the jelly first and then maybe goes back to eat the meat !

Ducha was ewating the meat while in the caqge all the time but now he is in and out he is going back to his jelly licking ways and also Franta who has been eating meat recently but is now nerlt refusing to eat that today.

Looks like I am going to have to try changing his food again........sigh

We mash it up so jelly doesn't have  a chance of being consumed on it's own  ;) but have started giving the gravy ones a whirl.............. well mashed up though

Oh dear Dizzi, didn't you know she's a C A T - this is all to be expected  :naughty:

She's just about got over her indignation at the dog's existence now though - although the look of utter disdain when the dog spots her daintily grooming herself, decides to join in the game, does one of his paws and gets distracted with his tongue slobbering away down where his blokey parts used to be with utter relish is hilarious to watch - it's like the Queen finding a poo on her plate at some state banquet!

Suki and I have different opinions on what she should be fed. Since she hasn't yet acquired opposable thumbs and a credit card - the balance of power is most definitely in my favour so it's been decent quality dry for years (because cheap dry just comes straight back up and standing on catsick while doing a bleary eyed barefoot walk to the loo is NOT fun). She lost a lot of weight just around Christmas and started turning her nose up at her dried food, so to get some weight back on her (she's always been a very small cat who'll pick at food daintily anyway) I started feeding her wet and leaving the dried out as an option.

I stocked up on wet pouches recently... of course the spoilt one has now decided her diet of choice is to lick all the jelly off the pouches and go back to the dried stuff - evil little creature obviously gets special offers emailed to her and adjusts her dietary choices accordingly.
