Isn't that the truth. We have cats that I can put tuna in front of and they won't touch it. Then we had the one who would only eat the Wal Mart brand Albacore tuna. When we were bottle feeding we had a horrible time with some of them - they would still be drinking ONLY KMR if allowed. I remember mixing home made formula (evaportaed milk, baby cereal, egg yolk, with a drop of corn syrup) - most loved it but some refused to get near it.
We have one cat on S/O 9prescription diet) for urinary tract infection. The vet told us to put one of the others on it also. Patches almost died. She stopped eating altogether. It took us forever to get her eating again. She went anorexic. With using the abacore tuna and Friskies Pacific Salmon - she is now back up to 10 pounds and doing great.

Subject: Re: any other catfood suggestionsAnd then you have those cats that simply WILL NOT eat the "good stuff", I can beg until I'm blue in the face, I have a few who will eat anything BUT I have a couple who will stop eating if I only put down the "good stuff", they just won't have it. I make the change gradually, teaspoon at a time in their regular food, I've even had them eat it for a while after taking months to get them switched over and then suddenly they just refuse to eat it any more. I've gotten my group off Fancy Feast 3 times in the last several years but they ALWAYS eventually quit eating the "good stuff" and after a few days of them not eating they get their Fancy Feast back. I'm not happy about but I know all too well the dangers of not eating and I ain't going there!!!
I have to disagree with some of the below. It is nice to want to feed your cats the very best, however circumstances beyond some peoples control make that impossible.-- Belinda happiness is being owned by cats ...
