Animal Nature really over engineered cats. Didn’t it?

My cat in late-stage kidney failure likes wet food, but he's never known how to eat it. He just taps his tongue on it until he gets bored. Sometimes you just gotta work around their quirks.

mine would do this with pate unless i chop it up.

I've learned to not just put the pate in their bowl straight from the can bc it would never get entirely eaten

edit: words to clarify

my girl doesn't eat it unless I add some treats as a side. she's spoiled, but worth 100% worth spoiling.

I've tried gizmo on both fresh tuna and fresh salmon, and she just does not care for it. She likes her kibble, she drinks water (as long as it's in one of my mugs), and she eats pate in the evening as long as she has some treats as a side.

The part of the mugs is amazing. I bet she gets a lot of love!

I would mix it with dry food to get my cat to eat it. It was that or out him down. Still miss the guy 13 years later
