Even some owners, directly with several kinds of cat food mixed with the cat to eat, that can meet the cat’s nutritional needs, in fact, this feeding method is most likely to lead to picky cats.
In addition, cat food has high nutritional value and comprehensive nutrition, and there will be a variety of different flavors, when the cat adapts to a certain flavor, and will not easily change.

Third, the cat picky eaters corrective suggestions
3.1 Give only one kind of food
In the case of insisting on not eating, do not pity them (emphasis added), the cat can wade through the place do not leave food that can be eaten. The average cat will be obedient for a day and a night. The tougher ones can last a day and a night plus a morning. If your cat still won’t eat, check to see if the food you’ve given him is spoiled, not fresh, or not really cat food (not only meat and canned food will spoil, but also cat food that has been left out for half a day will become unfresh). If your cat still doesn’t eat it, then you need to do an ideological education + psychological counseling, hey, is he really a stubborn cat?
*This method is not suitable for cats that have just changed their environment and older cats ~ in addition, cats should not be starved for more than 3 days~.
3.2 Gradual Change Method
You can start by mixing some of the food you want to feed with your cat’s favorite food. For example, canned food mixed with cat food, and then gradually reduce the amount of canned food every day, until he can eat pure cat food (the opposite probably also applies?). This process requires patience and persistence. (emphasis added)
3.3 Timing and quantitative method
Kittens can be fed 3 times a day, adult cats can be fed 2 times a day, and the amount of food given at one time is subject to the actual situation. If the cat does not finish the food in 20-30 minutes, take away the food quickly, and act quickly and never be soft. Let the cat know that if it doesn’t finish this time, there will be no food for the rest of the time. After a few days of training, the cat will develop the habit of eating most of the food at once. This method must be ruthless and persistent. (emphasis added)
