Can we get or make a list of wet foods in jelly?
As many here have commented it seems like wet foods in gravy are a bad idea and give our kitties the runs. I won't go into detail about the mess I spent two hours cleaning yesterday...SO, it's jelly only for this house from now on. I guess I will start the list of what I know:
Friskies Mixed Grill, Supreme Supper, Chicken and Tuna pate dinners
All Fancy Feast classic pâté dinners
And that's all I know of...Add yours if you'd like!

in the UK we have Gourmet - which is the only one the Princess-Pirate will eat - about as healthy as a Big Mac for cats.
"Encore" is mainly meat, and a bit of jelly.
May be you need to go online and check out what options you have in your part of the world, I would search "meat for cats" in Google, and try to see if you can order - I ordered some 80% meat cat food from Amazon from a small company - Neevie did not like it at all but that might just be the brand so I can keep trying to find the right one. the name of the company, for people in the UK, is Lilly's kitchen - they do all sorts of meats - I think they make it with entrails and stuff, might be why Neevie didn't like the chicken stuff. Trespasser (the cat I feed outside) did though.

my coonies are currently on Applaws, it's chicken breast but without jelly or gravy, they seem to like it and keep it down *rolls eyes*, everything else seems to fly back up

Never thought of ordering online. Thanks for the replies, and hopefully we can keep this going for others! I know Whiskas has pâté foods in jelly but my cats won't touch it lol! Our vet has banned all dry foods after what happened with Merlin, and also because of Sampson's addiction to it and his weight problem. So far it's been a rocky transition, but at least everyone is eating at regular times and not wasting food.

also try real meat - mine goes crazy for chicken breast - if bought from the right place it can be pretty inexpensive - I cook it for her, about 500g at a time (or she doesn't touch it, spoilt missy that she is) then keep it in a plastic box in the fridge, give her bits at a time as for her it's more of a treat.
something else to try is fish - mine... surprise surprise... loves salmon! that is definitely a treat though. she has bits of it when we have it - again, I cook it separately because we like a lot of stuff in ours like garlic and onions which are poisonous for kitties (eats their red-blood cells or something apparently)
trial and error is the key, and I don't think you can go much wrong with cooked meat and fish so if they don't touch it try something else I guess.
eg: mine doesn't touch beef. Go figure...

Mandy loves cooked chicken and beef, and she always gets little bites when I make either one. Merlin cannot have them because he doesn't have the teeth to chew properly. Sampson and Rose have zero interest in "human food" and only eat cat food-weird!
Poor Sampson was really having a hard time and I gave in today and bought him dry food. I'm only allowing him 1/4 cup twice a day and it's put away if he doesn't finish it all. Merlin absolutely cannot eat it so I can't leave it out.

It is a lot of extra work having four cats with different dietary needs, but anything is easier than cleaning up poo and vomit LOL! On the good side Sampson has been more frisky and playful since he isn't stuffing himself all day long and is already slimming down!

I honestly keep my MC away from any foods with grain/gluten/by-products-- I am not cool with my cat eating grinded up beak, etc-- But, they are cheaper cans for a reason! I use all natural foods and I can tell a direct difference from my roomies cat's weight problems/health issues-- But, something to think about!
