Contrary as usual, you buy him the good stuff and end up giving it away, why, he turned his nose up. He has been through the usual Whiskas, Felix etc. So went to Tescos Premium. he loved it. Now he's turning his nose up at that - well some of the time - eats the jelly leaves all those little pellets lying all over the kitchen floor. Cooked him some chicken breast, he loved it, then he turned his nose up.
Thought ok a lot of you give your cats chicken wings, so bought him some. He looked at it, looked at me, put his paw on it, had a nibble then walked off. Picked it up and he sat and cried (well a rather plaintiff mew) so put it back down in his dish and can now hear him crunching away. Can see I shall have to freeze them and defrost on demand.
Is he a starved cat, no, he is a well established big boy - which he would tell is all muscle. Prawns, cats like prawns, well yes, but only one or two then he turns his nose up - again. Sardines, oh yes - well the first time. Dry food, wet food, you name it. Then he has the cheek to pretend to everyone that comes, that he is a poor starved kitty and I don't feed him, as he tries to tempt everyone to the kitchen cupboard where his food is kept and looks enticingly at you until you feed him some. Mind he does have one love, Tesco's dentabites. Trouble is he would eat them by the packet if he got the chance.
One last thing, if he can pinch fish of your plate he will devour it, but put it in his own dish - huh forget it.
Don't we just love our cats.

Amber tries to steal food off our plates - I often wonder what would happen if we put cat food on our plate to see if she would eat it! she is currently eating PAH purely chicken and I'm hoping she will stick with it as I did a major bulk buy!

I have taken to throwing uneaten wet food on to the flower bed and find them eagerly eating it hours after they turned their noses up when I first opened the packet
I suppose they think they've hunted it down out there :innocent:
the only thing which is never rejected in this house is Webbox

Hes just training you and it sounds like your an A* student :evillaugh:
Our old dog would only eat cornflakes from a kelloggs box, so my mum would get cheap cornflakes and put in the box and he ate them :doh: his food was also 'given' to the cats and he would then 'steal' it back and gobble it down, he was a v.stupid collie, springer x :Luv2:
No working out an animals mind :scared:

With my previous four, it was a lot easier, they ate Felix, if I gave them anything else, they just looked at me and sat around waiting for me to realise that it wasn't acceptable. Felix or nothing, well until they got into their teens, then it was Whiskas Senior for 6 months then back to Felix Senior and so on. Jade and Suki adored ice cold milk from the fridge until I read about lactose intolerance which as Suki got older, she developed quite badly. Then Jade started with it,so no milk which although Suki accepted, Jade never did, so I bought her cat milk, and so long as it came from the fridge she would try it before looking disgusted and walking off. So I was spoilt with my first cats, they were purring bundles of love, who thought the perfect place to sit was on me, preferably all together.
Jake on the other hand is the fussiest little monster, never purrs, not a lap cat well he wasn't until recently. Now he is lavish in his attention to other people's laps, me no way I am not for sitting on, I am for following around, everywhere, literally, I am for sleeping back to back with, sitting next to on his cushion or behind me, back to back, on my computer chair (yes behind me literally, I do wish I could get a photo of him doing that).

I'm beginning to wonder if something is wrong with my cat :shy:
As long as it's not from a tin (unless sardines) then they will eat it... has my ruthless 'I will put food down 3 times a day, if you don't like it then tough until next meal time' regime worked?!
Mind you... Mabel my 'starving waif' was given a lovely fresh haddock the other day (after she devoured the trimmed off bits of one we ate) and she wouldn't touch it! we even tried cooking it for her and nope... nothing... it is now stinking out the street from our bin :sick:
