What Cat Food

[Eastender]

Do you feed your cats? mine are getting so fussy, I'm forever picking the bowls up and changing it. Whiskas, felix, gourmet perle, sometimes they eat and sometimes they don't. Must admit it sometimes smell's? makes you wonder what they are puttin in it.

Lucy only gets dried food - either Science diet or Purina - she starts to leave it from time to time too, but at least it doesn't smell. I just leave her till she eats it.

That sounds a bit boring to me, like humans eating biscuits all the time.

Mine get very fussy at times, the one only eats Felix "Good as it Looks" (not fish though) and keeps going off the various flavours. The other isn't as bad but they never clear their dishes like other peoples cats do. Mine always have dried food down as well.

My old gentleman cat (now deceased) would only eat Felix Rabbit flavour. He wouldn;t eat a fish flavour one but he loved a tin of sardines or salmon. I used to be able to hide his arthritis tablets in the sardines as he wouldn't take them otherwise.

What mine likes one day she doesn't like the next. Nightmare and they get worse the older they get. Vet said to buy the Senior variety of a brand if they do it, as it's smellier than the ordinary stuff because as they get older their sense of smell deteriorates. I gave her some big fat juicy prawns tonight and she's tossed them around a bit and left them.

Forgot to mention, he often enjoyed the dried biscuits instead.

our cat Shadow is very fussy with his meat he will only eat the felix good as it looks brand. we try him all the time on other brands but he just wont eat it.

Rover's got kidney problems and he finds the KD kidney food disgusting, so we have to get decent quality senior cat food (they won't eat shop's own anyway). We buy Felix and Whisksa principally - for biscuit we have Royal Canin, Wellbeloved, Purina - but I do try to vary the flavours. I stopped buying the large bags of biscuit, they got bored with one flavour if they had it too long. Oh, and Black Spot gets TD biscuits from the vet, for his teeth....

I'd quite happily live on biscuits! She did get moist food when she was a kitten, but was never really that keen. Her coat is in much better condition with just the dried food. She doesn't like "people" food either - except for porridge or strawberry yoghurt!!!

[boxtops]

I forgot to say - the chance to eat OUR dinner never goes amiss, either!

[micmak]

I have had many cats, I always bought them the best I could afford, that was often not good enough. As much as I love cats they are fickle creatures. They will eat anything they can steal, but not freshly cooked chichen that you give them. I love them all.

[askyourgran]

Same with us boxy, if we had a chinese takeaway he wouldn't leave your side.

Princess Merlin eats mainly dried food. Frankie is the picky one and he is greedy too.

I have given up trying to work out what Frankie will eat - his main food is the sachets but he will eat the dried. If he doesn't want what is put in his bowl he makes a big thing about it - making sure that I register his displeasure and disgust at my offerings.

I retry foods that were previously rejected - Felix rabbit was 'poisonous' for a while but is not acceptable again. There is no logic to it all.

Caspar gets Felix Good as it Looks and Whiskas Oh so Tasty, plus the ordinary flavours...along with HiLife Petit Pates. As for biscuit-I usually keep several on the go-rotating them to prevent boredom. He also loves raw beef mince-but turns his nose up at chicken. He'll kill for crisps,though... ;-)

[boxtops]

Mine like chicken curry, but you have to lick the curry sauce off first, though...

[ann_h]

Mine only eats GoCat or Whiskas biscuits, and only drinks standing water from the drainpipe.
Have tried all the tinned stuff, she'll have a bit and then refuse it - and she doesn't even like cattreats / fresh meat / ham / fish / egg.

[boxtops]

Mine will eat Dentabits, but not the other natty treats with fish in, etc. Black Spot goes mad for cat mint, he gets a real high out of it.

[bobbie22]

My cat only eats IAMS and drinks water. She will not eat anything else. You should see what she is like when I try to get her to take a worming tablet! i have crushed it, and put it on prawns, sardines, salmon etc, she just turns her nose up! Its such a fight get her to take this tablet, that I was advised to get some special worming cream to put on her paw, so she could lick it off. Seems to work. She is such a madam!

[pastafreak]

They are all 'madams'...even male cats...;-0

[slinkycat]

Agree with that, my little madam will only eat felix sensations but over the last week we've been away and she has started to go off it,, aargh.......
