Nora normally will only eat pate canned food, she has always refused anything that has chunks or anything like that. The last time we bought canned food for her I got a new flavor, and accidentally bought three instead of two (I get two of each flavor, usually) and it turned out she doesn't like it, so that's three cans wasted.

Anyway...I also bought one can that wasn't pate. It looked like cut up strips of meat in a gravy. I didn't realize it before I opened the can, so I figured I would see if she would even try it. After some goading, she eventually licked up most of the gravy and then she tried a big piece of the "meat". She backed up from the plate and just sat with this stare. I could tell she was deciding if she liked it our not, and most likely it would be "not". She got this funny look on her face, then she started to gag. Nora is very good at gagging. I quickly picked her up and put her in the laundry room b/c we were cooking dinner and I didn't want her barfing all over the kitchen floor.

She's so funny that she will barely try anything new, and then when she does she gags on it. She never did end up barfing, but she was being very dramatic. Even someone at the store told us our cat was spoiled b/c she will only eat pate and doesn't like any flavor with fish in it. lol

And when I say she is really good at gagging...if she tries something or even smells something that she doesn't like, she will gag. I have never in my life seen a cat gag before, and I just think it's hilarious. Spoiled brat.

My cats are pretty spoiled as well, though they're the opposite of Nora because they refuse pate unless I cut it up into chunks and put some water in to make gravy. My 3 month old kitten also refuses to eat dry kitten food, so I have to put him on an almost all wet diet, so when he ends up eating the adult dry food he's not losing so many nutrients.

My aunt's old Siamese kitty was very picky too, and he would start dry heaving if he was offered anything that wasn't kitty food. I once offered him a little piece of pizza crust and he started gagging. So picky, but so funny.

My female cat is the absolute opposite - she will eat *anything.* You'd think by the way she eats and begs and whines (and looks - she's very small) that we don't feed her, but she's always getting treats, she gets canned food every day (she'll eat any flavor/brand), has two bowls of kibbles available at all times, and gets table scraps. Within the last few months, she's begun jumping on the counters to stick her nose in anything people leave up there, and she has been known to eat holes in bags and plastic wrap to get at the food behind it.

She even eats the dog's food, which I stop if I catch her doing it because dog kibbles are so big and I know for a fact if she can't chew them (since she eats so fast), she'll swallow them whole and then vomit shortly afterward.

I have never seen a cat have such a broad love of food - she'll even eat weird things like sauerkraut or sherbet. This is why I call her my little garbage disposal.

And her brother is just as nuts from a different direction - he loves to eat inedible things; I cannot count how many times I've caught him with a produce bag halfway down his throat or when he meows for a half hour because he's trying to pass a rubber band in his catbox that he decided to eat. I'm convinced he has a second stomach where he stashes all the inedible objects he eats and that's why he's so fat despite eating catfood at a normal rate.

I guess I should be thankful my guys will eat just about any brand/style/flavor wet or dry.
If one walks away and sees the rest eating it usually will go back thinking its missing on something lol
