You are right, it has to be real soupy and the stinkier it is, the better. Mine really love mackeral. Can't figure out why they do not like salmon.

I just let the hot water run until it is hot enough to warm up the food so it smells good and they come running. I only give each one about 1 teaspoon because they prefe the liquid to the actual meat. They will come back later and nibble at the meat, but the liquid dissappears real fast.

Re: [Felvtalk] FW: request for counsel on BreAnne
I've never had a cat eat anything from the microwave. They are just too smart for their own good! I always set any cold food out at room temp and they have always seemed to like it better. Also, some just like to lick it off your finger. It's worth it to get them to eat even if you have to hand feed them for 20 min.
