Many people leave a bowl of dry kibble out all day for grazing, then add wet food at mealtimes. That’s totally fine, as long as you’re not overfeeding. Just remember: wet food goes bad fast after 30–60 minutes at room temperature. If your cat doesn’t finish it quickly, toss it or put it in the fridge.

If your cat is a grazer, try offering wet food in small, scheduled portions rather than a big pile. My friend’s cat, Sprinkles, would only lick the gravy off the wet food and leave the chunks—so she’d switch to pâté style. Every cat is a weird little individual, and you’ll learn their quirks soon enough.

But what if my cat’s a picky princess?

You know the type: they sniff the wet food, look at you like you’ve insulted their ancestors, and walk away. Don’t panic. Try warming the food for 10 seconds in the microwave (stir it well to avoid hot spots) to release that irresistible aroma. You can also mix a tiny bit of wet food with their dry kibble as a “starter kit” to coax them.
