My cat eats wet food partially then finishes later. Is this normal?

Question

Hi, my cat has on and off lose of appetite for canned food for about 1 month (wet food only diet for 9 months now). She eats partial of it and would finish the rest after play or with other treat put in the food. She has no change of energy level, no diarrhea/nausea/constipation, no excessive shedding. What is going on with her? Please shed a light. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 10 months old | 9.5 lbs

Hello, its difficult to pinpoint that Opal could have something abnormal going on with her. Her appetite is likely normal but she is eating her food at different times depending on her level of activity. Especially if the food is always readily available to her. Opal likely prefers to eat her food when she becomes hungry after playing around and not at all times. As long as she is not having any other signs, then she is likely not sick. If her appetite continues to decrease then you may try to change to see if she prefers a different flavor of food. Hope this helps and best of luck.
