Hi

I have 2 x tabby cats. They have always been fed Whiskas dry cat food. Yesterday we ran out and it was pretty late with only a hand full of shops open.

I bought Vitacat dry cat food, and neither cat will touch it, they are hungry and are wanting feeding, but they are refusing to touch this cat food.

It got me thinking.... about why... I don't really understand. Surely dry cat food is all very similiar in taste (not that I'm going to try) I always thought the differences were mostly the nutrient content etc.

Seems I have two snobs to deal with.

P.S. bought some whiskas this morning, they are well fed again.
 
I know Whiskas isn't the best food, but they eat that, and won't eat owt else. Except for wet food, but they have the runs with wet food - high end brands like Shiba and even cheap stuff.

I prefer to give them dry food as it sits better with them. But they will only do Whiskas, I tried some expensive stuff (85% meat I think) from the vets before and they wouldn't eat that either.

Spot on. Whiskas is terrible, as is most of the supermarket cat foods. Dry food is also worse than wet food, but obviously decent quality dry food is better than rubbish wet food. Natural, high protein and grain free food is becoming more common which is good though. I currently feed my two Applaws and Natures Menu.

The best way to change foods is a slow swap, mixing in a small amount at a time. Cats can be stupidly stubbon, but eventually they'll just get on with it and eat it. It took me a few weeks.

Well my oldest cat is 12, and has zero health issues, always been fed Whiskas dry food and has never had a single thing wrong with her, she has an annual checkup and not once has the vet found a single issue.
