My cat usually eats all her wet food but didn't today. Should I worry?

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | 6 years and 4 months old | 12 lbs

i give my cat some wet and some dry food in the morning. This morning she finished only the dry food. It appeared that she ate some of the wet but did not finish it. She normally eats all of it. Should I be concerned and take her in or can I monitor?

Cats, like people, can have times when they are simply less hungry than others. Sheba still ate well, so I would not be concerned about this one time change in her wet food consumption. Keep an eye on her for signs of lethargy, vomiting or diarrhea, or if she stops eating any of her food. These would be signs that require veterinary attention. I hope that all goes well!
