Hey, I got a new kitten a month ago, it is a Persoan mix 4 month old male. He started having his wet food a week ago and now refuses to eat his dry food. My friend has a similar cat which is quite healthy, can you please help me out with getting my cat a bit healthier.

Bunny is so adorable! I would try mixing together his wet food and his dry food. That will get him to eat his dry food in addition to the wet food. You can also try soaking his dry food in tuna juice or gently warmed low sodium beef or chicken broth to tempt him to eat. I hope this helps!
