How to get cat off Gourmet Perle

[cobwebsoncornices]

We got an 8yo cat from a rescue 4 weeks ago. She's generally settling in well.
She spent 3 weeks at the rescue during which time she had a few teeth removed. She didn't eat much whilst at the rescue which they put down to her teeth removal and generally being unsettled. As a result, when she left they just gave me a random selection of food - whiskas, Sheba, gourmet perle & a few others.
As soon as we got her home, she started eating. We feed her wet food every morning & evening and there is always dry food out too. I've tried various of the grain free wet & dry foods on her but they always get nibbled at or ignored whereas the gourmet perle & go cat get devoured.
Is there a way of getting her on to better quality food? Cheaper/less waste would be a bonus too! Does it really matter? After all, DS is a similar age and the only fish he will eat comes in fish finger form and is smothered in ketchup before being considered acceptable.

We've just had to move ours onto a lower calorie food and we just mixed them together. But she's a greedy guts.
Or use ketchup.

Just realised it's not Gourmet Perle, it's Gourmet Mon Petit. It is very wet and the bits of meat are small

If you took the option of wet food away would she eat the dry?

My cat devours her biscuits within seconds of delivery (automatic dispenser which gives measured amounts 3 times a day otherwise she gorges herself) but if wet food was offered, she’d leave the biscuits to eat the wet food first (and then probably got back to the biscuits).

We only give a packet of wet food now and again as an occasional treat.

My 15 year old lovely boy likes Gourmet ocean fish, which is a soft patè. He’s eaten a big variety of ‘medium’ quality food since we adopted him at aged 7. It’s what he likes and I’m not going to try to force him to eat food he doesn’t like.

Could it be to do with the texture? Ours will only ever eat pate. If I feed them anything else (e.g. with gravy) they nibble at it or sniff it and then leave it. On the plus side, they seem to eat just about any brand of wet food with a pate texture.

She may be struggling with the biscuits if not many teeth left. You could add some hot water to soften them and see if she will eat them.
My two love Purizon biscuits and have one pouch of wet food a day. They also like Applaws and lilys kitchen.
Also get sainsburys frozen basic white fish which I poach in water and waitrose tinned mackerel in water for a variety (normally have as a weekend treat!)

Mine dont do posh wet food. Its the texture as they are mainly pate and they wont touch it. Im not bothered as their dry is expensive grain free. I pick my battles. If shes had mouth surgery I cant imagine jts uncomfortable eating dry.

You could try some salmon oil. Mine now refuses to eat anything though unless I put his "seasoning" on it
