Okay, so today I’m gonna walk you through how I whip up some super simple, cat-approved gravy using wet cat food. It’s seriously easier than you think!
First off, grab your cat’s favorite wet food. You know, the one they go absolutely bonkers for. I usually use the pate kind because it mixes better, but flakes work too. Just might be a little chunkier.

Next, get a small bowl and a fork. Nothing fancy needed here! You can even use a coffee mug if that’s all you got.
Now, scoop out a spoonful or two of the wet food into the bowl. Depends on how much gravy you wanna make. I usually start with a small amount ’cause, you know, don’t wanna waste it if the little furball decides he’s not in the mood.
This is where the magic happens. Add a little bit of warm water. Not too much! We’re aiming for gravy, not soup. Maybe a teaspoon or two to start. You can always add more.
Start mashing and mixing with the fork. Break up all the chunks of cat food until it starts to look like a smooth paste. Keep adding water, a tiny bit at a time, until you get the consistency you want. I like mine kinda thick, so it clings to the dry food better.
Give it a good stir to make sure there are no lumps. Lumpy gravy is a no-go in my house. My cat’s a diva like that.
Pour the gravy over your cat’s dry food. Make sure it’s evenly distributed so every bite is flavorful.
Finally, watch your cat devour it! Seriously, it’s so satisfying seeing them enjoy something you made for them.

- Pro Tip 1: If your cat is picky, try using chicken or fish broth instead of water for extra flavor.
- Pro Tip 2: Warm the gravy slightly in the microwave (just a few seconds!) to make it even more appealing. But make sure it’s not too hot!
And that’s it! Super simple wet cat food gravy. It’s a great way to add some moisture to their diet, especially if they don’t drink enough water. Plus, it makes their dry food way more exciting. Give it a try and let me know what your cat thinks!
