What do you feed your cat?

What wet food does your fussy cat eat?
Our cat keeps going off the food we give her. Started her with Felix as good as it looks (what she had at the rescue), she happily ate that for a few months then seems to go off it. So we tried a different one and ate it happily for a few months and the same. She has now gone off the third brand. She still eats the dry food (at the moment). Just after recommendations for wet food. We have tried rotating through the three brands to mix it up a bit but no particular improvement. I don't mind ordering a few different ones. She does seem to prefer jelly to gravy and fish or chicken. Beef has always been rejected. She is two years old in case that makes a difference to recommendations. Thanks everyone.

Applaws - various kinds, the occasional tuna in springwater. He never liked beef or lamb.

Felix AGAIL. 2-3 sachets per cat per day.
Supplemented by various dry foods, dreamies, porridge, mice, voles, occasional marmite and anything else they can snaffle.

Felix. I have tried the most expensive to the cheapest. And This is the one he will eat. Would be happy for him to be on the most expensive but he didn’t want it. Cats are weird

Mac's kitten, Applaws and Canagan. We're trying him with a few different brands and flavours atm, Tuna is definitely his favourite for now.

Just feed dry here, purina one senior, and no titbits either. Quite a change from ddog (acquired cat from dsd)

My boy has Felix Tasty Shreds, or 4 pouches a day. He has Scrumbles (Amazon)dry food, available 24/7, along with fresh water. A few times a week I substitute the Felix with tinned tuna (in spring water) or some cooked chicken (obviously no bones)

MyGlassKeepsLeaking · 01/02/2022 15:41

the pouches 3 or 4 a day

PurrForm raw diet. DCat has a dodgy digestive system and gets sick, constipation/diarrhoea with any other kind of food. She loves the PurrForm thankfully.

ihaveonecat · 01/02/2022 15:47

Natures menu pouches
Plus the odd bit of raw

Maui69 · 01/02/2022 15:49

Whiskas

We use royal canin kitten food in gravy. Our Maine Coon is 9 months and our 5 year old is very slim so the extra calories are fine for her.

We also keep a bowl of Royal Canin sensitive dry food full all the time. We've been using it for years as we used to have a cat with a sensitive stomach. Our 5 year old is very fussy so when we've tried to change to one of their other foods she's lost weight. Might need to try again when the Maine coon is older as he's a greedy cat.

Royal canin - intense beauty wet, a mix of gravy and jelly to keep it interesting, and indoor 7+ dry food for the all you can eat snack buffet.

I have a fussy 14 year old cat and have to keep about 4 or 5 brands in rotation to keep his interest. I can't give him gravy or 'soup' style ones as those upset his tummy. He has all jelly ones, mostly fish or poultry, either Whiskas, Sheba, Gourmet, or the two Lidl own brand cat foods. I constantly mix them up so he has a different one each meal so he doesn't have time to get bored of them! Grin

schoggiweggli · 01/02/2022 16:18

Ours eats all sorts of things, but seemingly gets bored if he has a particular brand/ flavour too often so I buy a range of things (I walk around our local pet store and pick one or two of everything almost).

And of course may refuse something one day but eat it another, just because

babyboyHarrison · 01/02/2022 17:03

Thanks everyone, I will order a selection from everyone's suggestions and try a mixture and see how it goes. Really appreciate the responses.....fussy 🐱
