Something that pretty much always worked for me was what I called a chicken smoothie, I boiled whatever chicken parts I had, (not the wings) and plenty of water, let's say 2 thighs, then I removed the chicken and deboned it, put the meat in the food processor, and then added it back to the broth. I have used this as a supplement, or on it's own..for sick and older kitties of mine that lost interest in their food..it pretty much always helped..it kept for up to a week in the fridge in a jar..I would shake it, microwave til warm and the aroma gets stronger, then just add it to food or a little bit on it's own. That way you get pretty much all chicken without using gravies and stuff from other food they arent supposed to have..it's great to dress up food they turn their noses up at. My vet approved. It also made that pate food less thick and lickable rather than chewable..this might solve the 'doesnt like the food' dilemma. The heating is the trick, and you dont want to give food right from the fridge, to avoid tummy troubles.
It's also great for sensitive mouths.
Good luck..it's always a challenge..
