Keep trying. There are so many brands, flavors, and textures, that
after a little experimenting you'll find something they like. I feed a
"visitor" cat that was hooked on dry (what she was fed), but I switched
her to canned, not 100% but I don't mind occasional dry treat. Then I
went overseas and the apt sitter had to leave dry food because of tight
schedule. So she got rehooked on dry and I have been trying to
reconvert her. It is a slow struggle but it can be done.
In the beginning it is harder because she will eat only a little
canned, which means refrigerating and rewarming the food a few times.
Once she can eat most of a small 3oz can in one meal, life gets easier.
