I recommend to switch back to his normal food. It's possible the novelty of the new food has worn off or that Moshi is feeling sick: https://www.petcoach.co/article/why-isnt-my-cat-eating/ If Moshi begins eating his normal diet and is not exhibiting any signs of illness, you may try a different food (if there is reason to change) and gradually change the diet over a two weeks period. This article will help and keep in mind that fussy cats may need a slower transition: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-transition-your-dog-or-cat-to-a-new-food/ I hope this helps.
