Believe it or not, there are a few potential reasons that can cause a cat to stop eating wet food.&nbsp; In the next few sections, I\u2019ll explain each of these potential reasons to help you understand why your cat has stopped eating their wet food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"they-are-already-full\">They Are Already Full<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat is already full from the dry food she ate and\/or any other snacking she did, she may simply not be interested in eating the wet food.&nbsp; Most cats won\u2019t overeat if they\u2019re not hungry.&nbsp; If you think this may be the case, try offering them wet food before they have their dry food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dental-issues\">Dental Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sore teeth and other <a href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/dental-disease-in-cats\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">dental problems<\/a> can make it uncomfortable for a cat to chew.&nbsp;

If you recently switched wet food brands or decided to try a new flavor from your current brand, your cat may be trying to tell you that they aren\u2019t happy with this decision.&nbsp; Some cats can be picky eaters.&nbsp; If they\u2019re used to one type of wet food, that may be all they want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"they-dislike-the-texture\">They Dislike the Texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All wet food is not the same.&nbsp; In addition to having different flavors, different types of wet food can also have different textures.&nbsp;The texture of a p\u00e2t\u00e9 will be quite different from that of a stew or a chunkier wet food.&nbsp; If you switched to a different style of wet food, this may be why your cat isn\u2019t interested in eating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, the texture of wet food can also change when it is cold.&nbsp; If your cat doesn\u2019t seem interested in the food that has been refrigerated, but will eat it when it is fresh out of the can, this could be why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"they-are-feeling-sick\">They are Feeling Sick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can cats suddenly stop liking their food?\u00a0 Cat\u2019s can be finicky, but if your cat suddenly stopped eating their wet food and any other food, it could be an indication that they are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/cat-care\/common-cat-diseases\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">sick<\/a>.\u00a0 It could be anything from a minor virus to a more serious illness.\u00a0 So, if your cat doesn\u2019t seem better within a few days, you should contact their veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-720x530.jpg\" alt=\"ginger cat getting pet\" class=\"wp-image-817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-720x530.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-380x280.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-768x565.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-1536x1131.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-2048x1507.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-1568x1154.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-840x618.jpg 840w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/person-holding-the-head-of-orange-tabby-cat-stockpack-unsplash-1200x883.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-bowl-is-dirty\">The Bowl is Dirty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t wash your cat\u2019s food bowl after each meal, it can start to smell.&nbsp; If a cat notices an unpleasant smell coming from their food bowl, they may decide that they don\u2019t want to eat their food out of the bowl.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Washing the bowl after each meal is also important to prevent germs from growing in the bits of food still on the bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"boredom\">Boredom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do cats get tired of eating the same food?&nbsp; They can.&nbsp; While some cats are picky and only want to eat the same things, others may simply get bored of eating the same thing.&nbsp; If your cat has been eating the same type of wet food for a while, consider trying something new to help make meal time exciting again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-do-you-do-if-your-cat-won-t-eat-wet-food\">What do you do if your cat won\u2019t eat wet food?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The steps you\u2019ll need to take if your cat won\u2019t eat their wet food can vary.&nbsp; For instance, if your cat is still eating dry food and has only stopped eating wet food, they likely aren\u2019t sick.&nbsp; They may simply be bored with the flavor or texture of their food.  Or, they could be protesting a recent change to a new brand or flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if your cat only eats wet food (or has stopped eating both wet and dry food), it is more likely that they are feeling sick.&nbsp; You can try to change the flavor of the food first or offer a dry kibble.  But if they still won\u2019t eat, you will want to contact the veterinarian.&nbsp; Your cat\u2019s vet can perform an exam and work with you to determine whether a medical condition is impacting their appetite.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-499x720.jpg\" alt=\"cat won't eat wet food anymore\" class=\"wp-image-857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-499x720.jpg 499w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-263x380.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-768x1108.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-1064x1536.jpg 1064w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-1419x2048.jpg 1419w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-1568x2263.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-582x840.jpg 582w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-831x1200.jpg 831w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/grey-cat-stockpack-unsplash-scaled.jpg 1774w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 499px) 100vw, 499px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sudden-loss-of-appetite-in-cats\">Sudden Loss of Appetite in Cats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a cat ages, it is normal for their appetite to decrease.&nbsp; However, if your cat suddenly loses its appetite, it is more likely that they are not feeling well.&nbsp; If the appetite change only lasts for a few days, your cat may simply have a virus that should clear itself up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, if their loss of appetite persists for more than a few days, it is more likely that they are sick with something that will need treatment.&nbsp; Some other signs you may notice that can indicate that your cat isn\u2019t feeling right include sleeping more than usual, vomiting, and rubbing their face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it has been 48 hours since your cat last ate, or they are showing other symptoms of an illness, you will want to schedule an appointment with their vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-long-can-cats-go-without-wet-food\">How long can cats go without wet food?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In theory, a cat can go forever without eating wet food.&nbsp; Some cats exclusively eat dry food.&nbsp; However, if your cat only eats wet food, they\u2019ll likely get seriously ill within a few days and will not be able to survive more than two weeks, at most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"is-wet-or-dry-food-better\">Is wet or dry food better?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which is better:&nbsp; wet or dry food?&nbsp; Can cats live on dry food only?&nbsp; Cats can eat an entirely wet or dry food diet.  They can also be fed a combination of both types of food.&nbsp; Both wet and dry food offer their own set of benefits, which is why some owners choose to feed their cat a mix of both types of food.&nbsp; Below are a few key benefits of each food type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wet-food-benefits\">Wet Food Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More flavorful and aromatic<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Helps keep cats hydrated<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased water content can be good for cats with urinary tract disease, kidney diseases, and constipation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easier to chew for kittens, seniors, and cats with dental issues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dry-food-benefits\">Dry Food Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Less expensive<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longer shelf life<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chewing kibble helps remove plaque from the teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This video highlights the pros and cons of wet and dry food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Should Cats Eat Wet Or Dry Food?\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BwxhMAHBg4E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-get-to-your-cat-to-start-eating-wet-food-again\">How to Get to Your Cat to Start Eating Wet Food Again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat has stopped eating wet food due to illness, the suggestions below likely won\u2019t work to get him back to eating as normal.&nbsp; However, if they have stopped eating for another reason, such as boredom or disliking the flavor or texture, these suggestions may help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"try-a-new-brand-or-flavor\">Try a New Brand or Flavor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat has simply become bored with their current food, switching to a different flavor or food from a different manufacturer may do the trick.&nbsp; They may become interested in the new flavor and start eating wet food again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, if your cat stopped eating wet food shortly after you switched to a new food, they might be telling you that they simply don\u2019t like the new flavor you chose.&nbsp; Consider switching back to what they were previously eating or trying something else new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add-a-treat-to-the-wet-food\">Add a Treat to the Wet Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your cat appears to still be interested in treats, use it to your advantage.   Use the treats to try to entice him to eat his wet food.&nbsp; Mix a few treats in with the food and place a few additional treats right on top of the food.&nbsp; This may help your cat start eating again to get at the treats.  Plus, they may decide to keep eating and finish their meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"take-a-break-from-wet-food-for-a-few-days\">Take a Break from Wet Food for a Few Days<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Distance makes the heart grow fonder.&nbsp; This can also be true with cats and wet food.&nbsp; Stop offering wet food for a few days (and feed your cat dry kibble instead).
