Sick of cats fussy with food

They'll be fine with a certain brand for a while then completely go off it so we end up wasting loads... we change brands then couple of weeks later same thing happens .... they'd literally rather starve however long we leave it ... anyone else's cats like this or do we just have spoilt fussy buggers 🙄

It's a common thing, I'm afraid.

Never, ever buy large packs of their surefire favourite. It's guaranteed that they'll never eat them again.

Have you tried rotating what they are given? So one pack of A, then a pack of B, then back to A then C? It might help. It might not. That's cats for you!

I have 3 types I cycle through each day e.g. give Sheba select slices at breakfast and gourmet perle at dinner. Next day give whiskas at breakfast and one of the others at dinner. They have high meat dry stuff out all the time too

mine would only eat Aldi, whatever else I try she is really fussy. One summer I stopped giving her much wet food, only dry down to avoid flies etc and since then she eats what I give her when I give it to her lol

My 2 year old is very fussy and went through this and even worse found out she has skin allergys caused by food so now on prescription food which is so expensive and is getting fussy with that. Cannot win lol

My cat is like this so I go to pets at home and buy a load of individual sachets. They do 26 for price of 20 or something. Then I make sure she doesn't have the same ones in a row. Think they just get bored of having the same thing.
