My cat won’t come near raw food

So I started giving my 2 cat raw my older cat liked it and I’ve tried it with her before.
After many much thought i made my mind to do the switch for both of them my other cat was eating kibble and wet food but I didn’t like the results I believe in the power of raw so I wanted her to eat raw.
I integrated raw to the wet food a little by a little so she could get used to it and when the time came to just offer the raw she would sniff it and back off the wasn’t a picky eater before as she would eat everything she could see but now she doesn’t want to eat raw food she sees the other cat eating and go to her to look if it’s something else but when she notices it the same she will go back to her bed as she’s not interested. I tried putting pet safe bone broth and also topped it with freeze dried chicken that is the only way she could have a bite or two. Before when she was on kibble she would eat 24/7 and scream for it as she was starving but now won’t bother to look at the bowl
Am I doing something wrong here? Should i just gave up and go back to her old kibble? Any advice or suggestions would be helpful

You aren’t doing anything wrong by giving it a shot. Thought you might find this interesting.


Some are just finicky.

I’ve had some cats take to raw like a duck takes to water and others had to be eased into it. My first kitty took 6 weeks to transition. I started by mixing in a couple raw bites with the canned and that was no problem. I gradually increased the amount over 6 weeks until we were 100% raw.
