It's quite common for cats to have preferences, and some are indeed very selective, preferring the gravy or broth from their wet food. However, this can be concerning if your cat isn't consuming enough of the actual solids (meat/pâté) to get complete nutrition. Cats are obligate carnivores and need specific nutrients found in the meat. If this behavior is new, or if you're noticing weight loss, lethargy, or changes in their coat quality, it's important to address it. Try different textures or brands of wet food, or even a food topper formulated for picky eaters. Ensure they have access to fresh water.
