Royal Canin Sensory is a range of sense-nourishing cat wet food pouches with three distinct variations: SMELL, TASTE & FEEL. When it comes to their diet, cats have an instinct for new experiences, for diverse aromas, textures and tastes – which is believed to enable them to diversify their diet and achieve a better nutritional balance. If there is no medical or environmental reason for your cat refusing their food, perhaps a change in their diet could help to excite their senses! Room temperature is preferable when serving food for your cat. Because they use their sense of smell so keenly when approaching food, warmer food is more appealing to them. Canned food that is straight out of the fridge can be unappetising for cats. In multi cat households, cats should generally not be fed in the same vicinity to limit mealtime stress.

Many cats are not keen on eating their food too close to their litter tray and this can be off putting to the extent that it discourages eating altogether. If medical factors are ruled out, environmental issues such as stress, living in a multi cat household and disliking the location or proximity of their food, water bowls and litter tray could be affecting their eating habits. This can rule out any underlying medical issues that may be the problem. It’s therefore best to speak to your vet if you’re at all concerned about your pet’s eating habits.

With only 470 taste buds compared to a human’s 9,000 a cats’ sense of taste in food is very selective.* So you may find your cat will turn their nose up at food that doesn’t tantalise their taste buds or lacks nutrition.
