So if you’ve been feeding your cat the same food for over a year and he or she stops eating it, you may want to consider changing the brand or variety. Usually, a cat gets bored eating the same food for about a year. Cats need some change after a long period of time. Just like humans, cats get bored eating the same food for too long. This tip applies also to any other type of canned food, such as pates or shredded. As long as the water temperature is below 70 degrees this trick will work. This will keep the wet food fresh without the need for refrigeration so it won’t lose its texture or aroma. If the temperature is too hot, put one ice cube in the water. Tip #2: Once you put the wet food in the bowl, store the rest (pouch or can) in a bowl with cold water.Tip #1: Microwave the wet food for about 5 seconds, the consistency won’t be thick and the aroma gets stronger.My cat sniffs the food and she doesn’t seem to find it attractive and simply walks away. Also, the nice aroma of the wet food seems like it’s gone once refrigerated. When I get the food out of the refrigerator the gravy becomes thick, not liquid at all. Before refrigeration, the gravy is a nice tasty liquid with lots of chicken flavor that my cat loves to lick, which entices her to eat the whole meal. I discovered that my cat refuses wet food once it’s refrigerated but she eats it when the pouch has just been opened. Not only that, the texture, consistency, and aroma of wet food change when is stored in the refrigerator. This hasn’t changed and that’s why cats don’t like wet food when it’s too cold. Here’s what I discovered: Wet food changes once refrigerated, especially the gravy typeĬats in the wild eat their prey when is still warm so the temperature of the food is important. I wanted to learn more about why cats do this and why my cat Sophie is doing it.

Actually, I found a thread in the CatSite forum about this problem. This is very strange behavior but not unusual. But lately, she’s been approaching the food, sniffing it, and walking away. She has always loved her wet food and has eaten every single piece of it. In the beginning, I fed her the Morsels Chicken variety, and later I switched to the Gravies Chicken & Turkey variety which I have been feeding her for the last year. I feed my cat Wellness Healthy Indulgence wet food which comes in pouches with several varieties and flavors.
