My cat only eats the gravy from her wet food. Is this normal and healthy?

[]

Answer

It's quite common for cats to be picky eaters, and some do prefer the gravy to the solid bits in wet food. However, this isn't ideal as they may not be getting all the essential nutrients they need from the meat or pâté. Gravy typically contains less protein and vital vitamins. Try offering various textures and flavors of wet food, or even a different brand. You can also try mashing the food to mix the gravy and solids more thoroughly. If your cat continues to refuse solid food, it could lead to nutritional deficiencies. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
