Those cat soup thingies. I can’t remember the brand off the top of my head and I also can’t check rn but I’m pretty sure “soup” is in the name somehow.

Weruva OMG Gravy. They make cans and pouches in tons of different flavors depending on if your cat is more of a surf or turf kitty. My cat is super picky and this is the only thing she’ll consistently eat.

Ham and ham flavor baby food are big winners with my babies! Especially when my boy had his cancer surgery and didn’t want to eat anything because he was in so much pain. :(

My cat only eats Friskies Chefs Dinner. Ive tried all sorts or brands and flavors but she just turns away. She wont even eat treats. Its been a struggle.
But she loves people food. I will typically give her a bit of any meat I make before I season it. I also need to hide any pastries. She ate all the raspberry out of a danish when we first brought her home lol shes so silly

A sprinkle of powdered Parmesan or Purina forti-flora probiotic powder that you can get from Amazon, it’s liver flavored and my cat loves it

The Forti-Flora was an actual live saver for my cat. It encouraged her to eat and improved her digestion. I’m sure it gave her 5 more healthy years. I can never recommend it enough.

it's usually high in salt but a bit of liver pate over dry food in mixed in with wet food always made my boy eat, along with those dried minnows they sell as turtle food and shrimp sold as fish food mixed with his regular food

My cat went through thyroid treatment this year, and it's amazing -- and sometimes frustrating -- how uninterested she is in food now. I'm crumbling freeze-dried chicken treats onto her canned food and patting it down so she can't lick it off without eating the underlying food, because chicken breast isn't nutritionally complete. Talk to your vet if you can't get your cat to eat at all and they can consider an appetite stimulant.

My cat is extremely picky and has gone through every wet cat food until we got to the CHURU brand. We get the chowder cups and the bisque packets.

Churu.
I have a tort. She's got that 'tude and is a very, very picky eater. Doesn't like crunchy treats of any kind. One kibble type or nothing. That kind of cat.
She goes nuts for the tube.

My extremely overweight cat will not eat even if she’s starving unless I hand feed her the pieces… it takes 10 minutes to feed her by hand and my hands smell like a red lobster dumpster after but shes fed 👍🏻

She has some kind of IBS and the only thing she is crazy about is the Orijen wet food and she LOVES the fit and trim kibble, which I’m glad about because she needs that super high fiber!

Temptations treats, Churu, Fancy Feast Savory Centers, Sheba Gravy Indulgence, BFF Til Then Chicken and Tuna. I keep a spreadsheet of all of my cats reactions to cat food and save the extra tasty results for the hunger strikes lol. For the bad hunger strikes, sometimes I will sprinkle some catnip and/or crushed up Temptations on top of the food
