chunky canned food

[spittles]

Okay, so I was talking with the owner that took one of the kittens in the litter I adopted out(this kitten is actually Tilak's brother). She agreed to try all canned, but the problem is that the kitten will only lick off the gravy(he won't ground) and leave the chunks.

Anyone know how to get him to either accept ground canned food, or at least eat the chunks?

Thanks

So great that she's willing to go all canned food with him!

One of my cats tends to do the same thing - she licks all the wet goo and leaves the chunks. I've started mixing in warm water and mashing the chunks into the gravy goo so it's less chunky.

Did you say that he won't eat the canned varieties that are all smooth? Merrick makes some very liquidy canned foods - "Turduckin", I think it's called, comes to mind as being really gravy-laden...but not a solid ground food. It looks just terrible, but the cats really like it.
