Do you know why some cats just hate eating the meat in wet food? My catto just licks the liquid off and wastes the rest. Is there some evolutionary aspect to this or is my cat just a little jerk to me

My first thought is that it’s just preference. Like people, some cats might not like the texture or taste of wet food, or they’re just used to eating dry. I can’t seem to find any specific research so it’s likely that it is just preference.  

Either way your cat isn’t trying to be a jerk, they just don’t like wet food or aren’t used to the texture of it.

Which, despite what some people may tell you, is perfectly fine. Your cat can live off dry only food, just make sure you have lots of sources of water for your cat to drink. As long as you do that and are feeding a high quality dry pet food, your cat should be purrfectly happy. 

We have two cats. One of them likes the liquid in the canned stuff, one likes the meat, and neither one will eat the other stuff. It’s just a cat thing.
