With my previous four, it was a lot easier, they ate Felix, if I gave them anything else, they just looked at me and sat around waiting for me to realise that it wasn't acceptable. Felix or nothing, well until they got into their teens, then it was Whiskas Senior for 6 months then back to Felix Senior and so on. Jade and Suki adored ice cold milk from the fridge until I read about lactose intolerance which as Suki got older, she developed quite badly. Then Jade started with it,so no milk which although Suki accepted, Jade never did, so I bought her cat milk, and so long as it came from the fridge she would try it before looking disgusted and walking off. So I was spoilt with my first cats, they were purring bundles of love, who thought the perfect place to sit was on me, preferably all together.
Jake on the other hand is the fussiest little monster, never purrs, not a lap cat well he wasn't until recently. Now he is lavish in his attention to other people's laps, me no way I am not for sitting on, I am for following around, everywhere, literally, I am for sleeping back to back with, sitting next to on his cushion or behind me, back to back, on my computer chair (yes behind me literally, I do wish I could get a photo of him doing that).
