I love cats but didn't really want one - got dogs, too busy with work etc. however, my son and his girlfriend allegedly found an abandoned kitten in a box 2 and a half years ago and brought him home (I am not sure their story is true and think they may have actually bought said kitten from a friend - but that's a whole other story).
Kitten is now a large cat and of course muggins here has become its slave but he won't eat anything I give him for more than one meal.
The only thing he'll eat is 'naice' ham but I can't afford to feed him expensive ham all the time. I've tried every cat food brand there is, I've tried making home made food from cheapish mince (he liked this for two days but now won't eat it). We had a cat growing up - my mother gave her kitekat every meal and she ate it. But this cat is very different - I've tried all kinds of cat food, wet and dried food, food in jelly, food in gravy, pates, dog food, even cooked him white fish but this also gets expensive. Turns his nose up at everything after one meal.
I wouldn't care but he hounds me mercilessly until I've found him something to eat- I work from home and he will walk over my keyboard if he's with me, which changes the settings, deletes what I've written or sends weird messages to my colleagues, if I shut him out of the study he scratches the door and throws himself at the handle to be let in. I leave him in the kitchen with food and the back door open but he comes around the side of the house to the front door where my study is located - and cries to be let in. He's only happy and curls up contently when his belly is full but what he'll eat varies from hour to hour. I'll think I've found something then next time I give it to him he'll sniff at it, lick the jelly or gravy off then walk away in disgust.
I despair and am going off the cat which I don't want to do because he's lovely but I'm being driven mad - any ideas what I can feed him folks before I lose my mind (and my job!).
