Has Your Cat Stopped Eating Untamed? Here's How to Get Them Back on Track

If your cat was happily eating Untamed and now seems to be turning up their nose - you’re not alone. Cats can be incredibly particular, and changes in appetite are more common than you might think.

Whether your cat’s being fussy, feeling under the weather, or just needs a little encouragement, here are some tips to help them rediscover their love for Untamed.


🐾 Tips to get your cat back on Untamed:

1. Check for any changes in health or environment
If your cat suddenly stops eating altogether or shows other signs of illness, it’s best to check in with your vet. Even small changes in your home (like a new pet, visitors, or moving furniture) can affect their routine and appetite.

2. Offer a favourite flavour
If you usually rotate between recipes, try going back to the one they liked most initially - this can help reset their comfort and routine.

3. Warm it up
Gently warming the food (to body temperature) can make it more appealing. Cats rely heavily on smell, so warming enhances the aroma and often boosts interest.

4. Try hand-feeding
Offering a small spoonful by hand or on a plate near their favourite spot can sometimes help, especially if they associate mealtimes with comfort or attention.

5. Use hunger to your advantage
If your cat is a grazer, try switching to two structured meals a day, rather than leaving food out all day. Hunger is a natural motivator - just make sure they’re not going more than 24 hours without food.

6. Mix things up

  • Try adding a small amount of warm water or a favourite treat (like tuna or shredded chicken) on top of their Untamed

  • If you’ve recently changed recipes, try mixing a little of the new recipe into one they’re more familiar with

7. Keep it stress-free
Avoid forcing or hovering - cats can easily associate food refusal with pressure. Keep mealtimes calm and positive.


⏳ Still no luck?

Sometimes, cats just need a little break before coming back around. Don’t panic - you can always offer an alternative and reintroduce Untamed again in a few days using the steps above.
