What dry or wet food will my picky senior cat eat besides treats?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Himalayan | Female | spayed | 14 years and 10 months old | 8 lbs

Is there a dry or wet cat food that will appeal to cats who are no longer interested in anything but love and treats?

Try to feed Fancy Feast, various fishy flavors, warm the food in the microwave. Hand feed her. use the wet food as a treat, so she thinks it is a treat. Have her teeth checked by the vet, she may have a tooth ache. or severe gingivitis.
