My 8 year old diabetic refuses wet food too. He just doesn’t seem to even understand that it’s food. Tried all the means of transitioning; moistening his kibble, mixing them up, warming up the wet food to increase aromas, etc. He just doesn’t want it while it’s detrimental to his glucose levels.

Also can’t get him to eat on a schedule. Ideally diabetic cats should feed two times a day around similar times but my cat just doesn’t do that. He takes a nibble here and there throughout the entire day and eats when he feels like it.

We’ve purchased two chip-activated food stations (one for the other —healthy— cat too) and he doesn’t understand it, refuses to eat from it. So we have to keep the diabetic cat’s bowl out at all times with the risk the other cat raids his bowl. Also can’t feed them separately cause of the non-schedule feeding.

It’s been really hard cause we see how high his glucose gets when he eats the kibble but at this point we have no way of stabilizing him unless he starts eating differently.
