Picky cat and smelly cat wet catfood [View all]

The vet tech at the last visit suggested half a small can of wet food with a tablespoon of water for more fluid intake for my middle aged cats Dixie & Shaw.
The first 2 weeks, they both gobbled down the new food, then Dixie started showing preferences, she likes flaked/shredded wet cat food. Shaw has no preference.

Fortunately Chewy sells 'taster packs' of cat food & I found a brand Dixie likes.
Previous cats got kibble their whole lives, I did not know healthy cats could be gourmet tastes that smell so strongly.
