canned cat meal experiences? [View all]

We are not doing so well with canned cat food.

Kit Kat came home with me from the shelter a very thin puddy tat. 21 inches from tip of tail to nose, she weighed only six pounds.
She has added weight since then, and is happy and healthy. She has dry food available at any time, and I feed her wet Fancy Feast twice daily. I have learned that she does not like any PATE' and the one time I fed her Friskies wet food she promptly barfed it up.
Here is what might be a problem. The wet cat foods that she likes have shreds or chunks and they have gravy.
She licks off the gravy, and leaves the solid shreds or chunks on the dish. Every time. Is she being improperly nourished because she's not eating the solid beef or chicken or fish, but just the gravy?
