Most of my cats don't like cooked "human" food either. I bought them a free-range, organic turkey breast from Whole Foods about 2 yrs ago thinking they would enjoy the treat. Only 2 out of 12 would have anything to do with it LoL!

Between my personal cats and the ones in the rescue, our pickiest eaters have chosen either Purina's new Muse line of food or Nutro Natural Choice (the minced chicken for the pickiest in the rescue).

I found out in a very random way that my pickiest suddenly decided that freeze-dried raw (in dry form only...not reconstituted) was perhaps the BEST food around. So, I started using this as a topper on her canned foods and it has greatly widened the number of foods she will eat.

As for dry foods...
I've tried Natural Balance; but, it was not very well received. The kibble is VERY hard and the food has a very high volume of peas in it (you can even smell it in the food.)

I stick with Nature's Variety Instinct and their Pride by Instinct line (the latter is definitely the favorite of most.)

I recently tried Wellness's new "TruFood" line and it was received ok. So, that might be worth looking into as well.

Ok, i will try Nature's Variety Instinct , Wellness, Natural Choice and Muse and see if Kiki likes them.

There is no freeze-dried raw in the area where i live.

Awesome , New Hampshire is beautiful ..   You will have lots of pet store to choose from then
Ya, I hope my little Kiki is fine while traveling, because last time when we went through security we had too take him out of his cage and the women who works there started screaming " I hate cats, this cat is ugly,, and kept asking if he would bite her. Do you  know how to calm a cat down in the plane cause last time he kept meowing and trying to get out of the cage plus that flight was 5 hours, this one will be 9 hours and i don't want him to meow like crazy?

Aww, poor baby . What a mean lady to do that . Your kitty is beautiful ..   I don't know about the traveling issue . I have never traveled with mine .  Maybe your vet could help you with that . I don't know if there is some type of calming pill the vet could give you for your cat  .

Thank you . They can be a pain because they are super picky eaters but they are worth it ..
Kiki can also be a pain because he is a super super picky eater and also cause he scratches the sofa!

oh , that is exciting . It is so much fun getting a new pet .  I think any one of those choices would be great .   I always like the Oriental Shorthair .  I bet Kiki would like having a friend

Yeah , I understand that .  Our cats have never scratched the sofa but they like to scratch the carpet . We bought them a floor to ceiling cat tower that is covered in thick carpet so they scratch that now . They also have a cardboard scratcher which they love
