If you wanted any tips -

While this varies between cats some of them are very happy to snack on small amounts of cooked vegies. Steamed broccoli, carrots, pumpkin, green beans and peas are all well liked by Melbcat.

Adding extra fluid like hot water to wet food, more wet feeds over dry food, and switching to grain free can also help. Plus licky mats, slow feeders and food puzzles

The trickiest bit is that I have 2 and one requires prescription food. Keeping them out of each others stuff in a house without many doors is a pain. Some success with puzzle balls, but they aren’t complicated enough!
