Am posting in the hope of inspiration! We have a 14(ish) year old cat who is becoming increasingly picky about what he eats.
He will eat food in gravy, but only eats the gravy and ignores the meat so when he is hungry again later the food has dried out and he won't touch it. Everything else is ignored and accompanied by scratching, whinging and generally making a nuisance of himself because he is hungry.
His teeth are ok and he will eat dried food if he has to (usually left down for him during the day) but he only eats small amounts as it isn't really what he wants.
We have tried all of the usual brands and variants but he just doesn't seem to like any of them because he's a bastard picky. He doesn't eat 'real' food like fish or chicken and he doesn't drink a lot of water.
He is currently ok health wise but obviously as he gets older I am worried that he will just stop eating anything.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what else we can try before he drives us totally round the bend?!
