Fussy kitten

My 6 month old kitten seems to have taken against the fishy flavoured kitten food in the selection packs I buy. It's quite a recent thing.

We get the Felix boxes of 12 pouches as that was what she was on before coming to us.

It's difficult to avoid the fish flavours. What's should I do? Try a different brand completely? If so, recommendations please? Or should I persevere with what she has?

Ignore it

Otherwise you will create a wee fusspot

My XH used to sprinkle crunchy 'treats' into the top of our kitten's food and the little darling wouldn't eat unless he got the treats. He was fussy enough anyway, deliberately not eating if he didn't like the food, then crying because he was hungry. it was a nightmare. Eventually, persistence worked, and he began eating without the sprinkles and XH got to keep certain vital parts of his anatomy. Stick it out.

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping that persistence might be the way forward. I thought I had at least a couple of years before she started to turn her nose up at her food.
