Like Love4himies said, that's up to the individual cat. Go at their pace. Some cats dive right into the new food and don't look back, others require considerably more patience and cajoling. In order to avoid potential digestive upset and to lessen the stress of switching, it's usually a good idea to go slowly. Start by mixing a small amount into their old food, or just put a dollop on a separate plate next to their usual meals and leave it there. Yes, it is okay to leave canned food out for free-feeding if that's what they're used to. If you need any tips on convincing a kibble addict to eat canned food, there are some on the catinfo link above. Good luck!
