Maybe we should try some raw chicken or raw meat..... I know my partner and I had that discussion before and for some or other odd reason decided against it (for the life of me I can't remember why). The Lucky Pet will just have to do until we can get her Walthams Sensitivity Control in. Mary has the Walthams pellets which she really likes. BUT (yes there is ALWAYS a but with Mary). She refuses to eat just dry food, just as she refuses to eat just wet food. Her normal routine would be: she gets wet food in the morning and at night. IF she finished her wet food, she gets treats and dry food. She will take a bite or two of her wet food before demanding dry food. We tried before to just give her dry food. She would eat a mouth full and demand wet food. If we put both down at the same time, she will only eat the one (either or). Life with Mary.

Just a word of warning about the Lucky Pet...fish is VERY high in magnesium/potassium and other than being a leading cause of irritable skin conditions and eczema (!), it also leads to Feline Urinary Syndrome (FUS). The reason I know this is that I lost a cat to this terrible illness a number of years ago before we had access to all the pet foods we have today. See if you can't persuade Mary to eat Hills Sensitive Skin (about R200 / 5kgs). This has cleared up my Galaxy's sensitive skin completely and he really enjoys it. I bought some recently, so know it is available. Good luck! Poor Mary – all that vet stuff!
