The pleasures of being owned by cats  :evillaugh:

I feed mine or should I say they demand Gormet pearl, Felix as good as, and sometimes I get Whiskers. They also get the Gormet in the little cans.

Maybe try the gravy pouches and warm it a little, my cats seem to eat more if its been "cooked"  :evillaugh:

After going through every cat food going, I decided to stick to Felix as there are so many variants. Mine have that with quality (Orijen at the moment) dry to make up for it.They seem happy with after getting used to it. There must be 50+ variants so they never get bored.

Have you tried Nature's Menu or Hill's Science pouches? You can't get them from the supermarket. You can get them from Pet's Corner and lots of places online. I just bought some a bit ago at Dabners (online) and the Hill's pouches were only 3.99 for 12 but they are usually 5.99 for twelve. Nature's menu is a bit cheaper. I have found some for 4.40 for 12 at Parcel pets or Pets 2 home (online). If you do a google search you can usually find some on offer.

My boys were really fussy when they came from the rescue. At their previous place they only had biscuits so weren't used to the wet food. I tried loads before I found these two that they like and they are high in meat content. The Hills is chunks in gravy and the natures menu is like a pate.

You can buy single pouches to try rather than buying a whole box.

Fussy Eaters - What do I do ?
« Reply #1 on: June 27, 2008, 13:02:32 PM »
I have had Lucy for 3 years, since she was 7 weeks old, and had Tibby about 6 weeks.
They are both the most fussy eaters I have known.
Lucy has got more and more fussy in the last year, and Tibby well - he is soooo fussy.
I am at a loss what to feed them anymore.
Tibby seems to like more Fishy tastes and Lucy more chicken types.  I have tried everything.
I have even got them 4 types of dried food out for them to choose from - which they do seem to eat - but I dont think they eat enough.
I have tried all the different pouches from Supermarket - even the really expensive ones too.
Lucy liked the Sheba chicken in the dome shaped tin 58p a chuck - and now she seems to have gone off them as well.
And tibby likes the one in a small tin - salmon pate stuff
I am at a loss
Any suggestions
