When your cat has never disliked food or mealtimes, it can be quite upsetting if they refuse to eat wet food.
As a result, it's possible that you want to switch your cat to a wet diet or that they've decided they no longer enjoy canned or pouched meat for reasons that are unclear according to Pets Radar.
Differentiating between a cat who refuses to eat wet food and one that doesn't eat at all is crucial. A cat who isn't eating at all is a legitimate worry that needs to be addressed by your veterinarian in a matter of one to two days, particularly if they are displaying additional symptoms including a cough, changed drinking habits, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or any new or unusual problems with their urination.
Following are some possible reasons for your cat not eating wet food as per Dr Sara Jane Mollier.
It's possible that the food maker modified the flavor or changed some of the components. Although it's not always clear from the packet, your cat will probably notice.
The bowl becomes dirty more quickly with wet food because it leaves more residue in it than kibble. Cats have extremely good senses of smell, even if the bowl could appear clean. Likewise, traces of strong-smelling liquids may irritate your feline.
It's always worth checking the use-by date if your cat is suddenly refusing to eat their wet food. Because of their keen instincts, cats avoid consuming food that is going bad.
Moreover, your cat's personal preference can also be one reason for her refusing to eat wet food.
