My cat won't eat or chew her food. Is she sick or just picky?

Question

My cat does not seem to eat too much, she nips every meal that I give her and then leaves it, my other cat (who is younger than her) finishes her meal after finishing his own meal in another room. I also end up free feeding kibble all day to make sure that she gets her share of food but I tend to notice that my other cat eats the kibble more often. This has been going for a month. She does not seem to like chewing food. I see no other health problems with her, stool is normal. What should I do? Pet's info: Cat | Persian | Female | 4 months and 21 days old

This could be a personality/preference issue, in which case nothing needs to be done, or could be related to a medical problem. You could try offering mostly wet food instead of the dry to see if she's more interested in that. I would also recommend a vet visit to make sure she's an appropriate weight and doesn't have any medical concerns that could be related
