I would leave good quality dry food out in a bowl- for them to graze on all day.  I would then only offer wet food once a day to start with.  Offer a small amount and if they are hungry they will eat it.  Most cats like their food fresh, straight from the packet.  My guys get wet food in the morning and again at tea time.

Good luck

Let us know how you get on

I would limit the dry food if you want them to eat more wet, and even though the food is covered, it might not seem fresh enough for them, which could be putting them off.

Health & Behaviour General / Cats not eating what I think they should

I have two female cats both four years old.
I put out four pouches of wet food food daily (sometimes only once a day, sometimes twice) into two microchip cat feeders that open and close automatically when the cats approach or leave, that means the food is covered when not being eaten and stays fresher.


They also have an unlimited supply of dry food from a gravity feeder that they can free-feed from.

Often they don't eat all the wet food, sometimes a considerable amount is left.
I have tried various brands and types.

I do wish that they would eat more of the wet food so that is not wasted.
What do you think I should do ?
1. Cut down the wet food and let them free-feed on dry.
2. Limit (or even remove) the dry food.

However, the last thing I want is for them to be hungry!!

I took one of mine to the vet years ago to discuss this, he said most cases of the rippling back were just fleas

Hi,   So sorry I had never heard of the condition until today so am unable to offer any advice.  I would be interested to hear how you got on at the vet though.
