Some cats are very picky about their food. I recommend to have Jenny examined by her veterinarian to address the swollen lip. It could be related to a spider bite, food allergy, plastic allergy or an indolent ulcer. To switch the food, start with 1/10 new food and 9/10 old food. Each week increase the new food by 1/10 the total mixture. Try the very slow process to see if she will accept the new food. I hope she feels better quickly and please feel free to post any additional questions.
