Does jelly food help cats with low appetite?

My cat has had a really low appetite since recovering from an illness. I'm thinking about trying jelly food for cats, but I'm unsure if it's only for sick cats or if it can help encourage eating again.

    Hi there,

    Giving your recovering pet wet food is a brilliant idea to help them get their appetite back! Wet food is much more appetizing than dry food like kibble.

    To make the meal as enticing as possible, you can warm up the portion of wet food slightly (just until it's lukewarm); this generally encourages them to eat even more. Of course, some cats are pickier than others, and finding the right flavour might take a bit of trial and error: don't hesitate to try different flavours and potentially different brands if your cat is still refusing to eat. There is a huge variety of wet foods to choose from on the market.

    All the best,

    Inès
