Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can try to feed them a different type of canned food or dry food. It is not unusual for cats to at some point get bored of their diet just needing a change to continue to eat well. You may add canned tuna to the food which may increase her appetite. If no improvement is noted after trying this, I would recommend that you have them examined by a veterinarian to make sure that there is nothing else going on. Good luck and have a great day!
