It's not junk food. The formula has changed. Do some research.

That's an understandable feeling but illogical. Lots of cats eat Fancy
Feast all the time and don't die of kidney failure. Lots of cats die
of kidney failure that don't eat Fancy Feast. A sampling of one cat
that ate Fancy Feast and died of kidney failure proves nothing.

But for the OP, I suggest trying the wet ProPlan Salmon and Rice. All
three of my cats will eat that (which does not prove that your cat
will like it however). Well, to be fair, Marlo is just in from off the
street and will eat anything, and all of it. So, at least my two
spoiled and picky cats like the PP Salmon and Rice.

My Kitty is about 16 years and I have always fed her Fancy Feast and
she is still alive.  Of course I also give her Hill senior dry.

Just because your cat had Kidney failure while eating FF does not mean
it was FF's fault.  I had an auto accident a while back while driving
a car.  Does that make it the car's fault ??  I thought it was the
other driver's fault since he got the ticket for not stopping!!

My cat, Murphy, lived for 19 years and I had him in my life for the whole 19
years. I'm in my 40's now, so when we started out together I was still in my
20's and a poor graduate student. He was served whatever I could afford from
the local grocery store at that time. As I got older and moved up the income
chain, he was served more high end, specialty foods, but for so many years
he got ... well, god knows what. I can't remember. My own experience is
variety is the spice of life. By giving my cats some variations, they end up
liking *something* and when they get tired of it, they end up eating the
second *something* that they like and so on.... I don't ever want them stuck
on eating one thing. (Oh, and my other cat, Lovey, companion to Murphy,
llived to be 16 years old.)

My two current kitties are 6 years 8 months and 1 year 5 months. Hopefully,
they will have similar long lives.

P.S.: people albacore tuna in water will stimulate any cat's appetite.

ORION! What a fabulous name for a cat! PICS!!

My cats eat chunky and ground--the "feast" ones are the ones I call ground.
They will lick all the gravy off the filets etc. and not touch the chunks.
The "marinated" line that FF is charging double for looks and smells like
someone already ate it and lost it. They just look at me like I am out of my
mind when I put that down.

Amber will eat a little bit of her canned food (Wellness) and then walk
away.  About five minutes she comes back for more,  I have to take her
dish away when she leaves or Tiger will eat it all.  Amber keeps
repeating this about five times until she has had her share.  Tiger
would eat the whole can in five minutes if I put it all down at once.
Then he would probably throw it all up.  Better to feed him in small
amounts.

Duffy does the same thing, so I don't remove food immediately -- I allow
enough time for Duffy to do his "snacking," but I don't leave it out
indefinitely (canned food needs to be refrigerated after and hour, or two at
most).  Fortunately, Holly eats her portion and then usually leaves Duffy's
alone.
