Just when I think I have their food preferences sussed, they go and upset the apple cart. My two are pretty easy to feed as Jaffa has always been Mr Hoover but he is getting a tad fussy in his old(er) age. I'm sure it's because I offer him more choice these days. Mosi is usually pretty good but he has his moments when he either doesn't want anything (furballs) or he's just playing silly butter to wind me up. he's not as food motivated as Jaffa.
Anyway, they've never been keen on the Natures Harvest stuff (90% meat). They ate it reluctantly when I first bought it, but soon declined to eat it at all. Jaffa loves the fish one, but neither of them will entertain the chicken one. But I have some in the cupboard so today I decided they could like it or lump it. I didn't put any dry in Mosi's dish as then they could swap over and just eat what they wanted when they wanted. And if they choose to go hungry, tough! So I put it down, apologising as I do so and just knowing they will give me that disappointed face when they smell it, but what do you know they just both got stuck in and licked their bowls clean :Crazy: Cats eh?

Sounds like the average day in my house! :tired:

Its the way they give you that "But you KNOW I don't like this!" look. Even though they liked it yesterday and this morning. :)

Mr T can be terribly fussy (as Ive spolied him - totally my fault :tired:) so if he wont eat his food I just put it in Chloes bowl. Suddenly it becomes Chefs choice and he eats it without any qualms. Cats!! :evillaugh:

I should be very happy, they just eat anything!! I have like 3 brands I buy and they eat and eat and eat.

Aint that the truth. If I give them both the same and Jaffa turns his nose up at what's in his bowl, he'll happily go over to Mosi's and scoff the lot! :shify: :Crazy:
Jaffa used to get the same every day - JWB biccies for breakfast and supper, felix in jelly for his tea. He got a treat on fridays - either felix in a foil tray (I bought the tins for regular meals) or something a bit different. These days he gets loads of different brands and I swear it's made him fussy. Animonda has always been a favourite but now he's starting to give me that "I think I've gone off this" look when he eats it. I think I've made a rod for my own back.
