We have got two cats, had three but one dies, one is a bald cat (Sphynx breed) the other a moggie. One is 14 and the other is 12.
Both of them are equally as fussy about their food after what seems to be a little while.
It has given an impression that there is variation in the consistency of what ever flavour, Whitefish for example, in a given brand of tinned food.
Iams biscuits, the type for their ages, can be a bit hit and miss for either cat.
Typically we seem to find a range of foods they enjoy and have been chomping away fine with no issues at all - all the boxes ticked. We then stock up on it and almost the next tin they both stop eating the damn food...!
If they were both the same breed I could understand better, but one being an indoor cat and the other an outdoor moggie just makes me think that cats can be so fickle with their food choices, a swell as manufacturers not being consistent with their flavours etc with their food during preparation.
Sometimes they are chomping away at brand X beef flavour in jelly and we open another tin and they both will not touch it. Even mixing in treat biscuits has little effect, sometimes though they might try and pick out the odd biscuit that doesn't have the meat touching it...!. We discard that tin and open another of the same brand and flavour and they sometimes start chomping again.
The only winner here is the charity box at Morrisons where people donate pet foods.
I do wish that we had started with just dry food when we first got them as kittens.
Our daughter has had her cat for a few years now and only gets dried food and has never had the issues we experience.
