While it might seem like a minor preference, a cat consistently only eating the gravy and leaving solids could indicate a few things. It might be due to dental pain, making chewing the chunks uncomfortable. Older cats often develop dental issues. Alternatively, it could be a texture preference, or even a sign of nausea or a pickiness developed over time. Long-term, this selective eating can lead to nutritional deficiencies if they're not consuming enough balanced food. A veterinary dental check is highly recommended to rule out pain. If dental health is clear, exploring different textures or pate-style foods might help. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
