Meat Which is favorite

which type of meat does your cat like best: beef, chicken, turkey, tuna, salmon, other fish, other seafood

Rosie gets a teaspoon of tuna for breakfast and the same before bedtime. She'd cry the house down if she did'nt get it!!. But she's likes beef also.

Every morning my husband and I make jokes about the "Turkey Dance" so ours love turkey.

I can't vote because: "Depends on their mood" is not one of the answers.

They could be all for tuna one day and then turn up their noses the next in favor of beef. You just never know.

My cats love sliced deli turkey, all I have to do is open the bag and they come running.

Tuna - Even with her finicky eating habits Jeeps has NEVER turned down tuna.

I said turkey, though chicken is a close enough second, I'm not sure there's a difference. After that beef, organ meats. NO interest in fish or seafood of any kind. If I offer that, I get the "What planet did YOU just arrive from??" look.

JC has never been too fond of poultry. Tuna is his all-time favorite. Many a time he has been outside on the upstairs balcony, and I've simply "broken the seal" on a can of tuna with the can opener, and he has appeared within seconds. He doesn't get it very often - usually only on holidays or his birthday - but he'd probably eat it every day if it were offered.

jcat: isn't it hysterical the way cats do that?!

fran: what's curious is my cat *loves* turkey .....but chicken, that's another story..... she gives the impression like she could live without chicken (i have seen her eat it though not with much enthusiasm)

Tuna for all three. I can tell because when I feed them any of the other choices, they don't empty their food dish.

Tuna, followed very closely by chicken. They turn their little noses up at turkey, for some reason. Weird cats.

I can't vote either.

Kuce loves tuna, veal, and turkey in that order.

Sphinx loves beef, turkey, chicken, and tuna in that order.

Though they do change moods and order on occassion......

Is it ok to give cats tuna out of a can (regular people food tuna)? And what about sliced lunch meat? I was wondering because I used to give Dori little pieces of meat from my sandwich but read somewhere on line it wasn't a good idea. If it's safe I am sure she would love a little sometimes.

squirtle: This is just my opinion but I think the problem we run into with giving "people food" is that it's not a good practice (let's be honest) and what happens with us humans is we can't resist the cute faces/meows and so what's supposed to be 3x a year turns into 1x a week

Squirtle - I give Jeepers cat tuna, it's real tuna but it doesn't have all the junk put in 'human' tuna like brine or oil, I use 'my cat' tuna but I think it's UK only, it's really cheap as well 29p which is roughly 54c a can and one can will do 1 - 2 days depending on how much your kitty eats.

This is just so wierd cos previously I would have put chicken. I dont have meat in the house unless for the cats but I do buy those Quorn slices (supposed to be chicken substitute!) My cats go completely crazy for it and would pass over real meat any day for it!
odd huh!

You did'nt have Teryaki beef jerky on the list. My cats will try to swipe that stuff out of my mouth! But only if its the Oberto brand.

They got locked in the office one night, found a bag of it, and had a party. Unfortunately Emily is highly allergic to most food, so there was Teryaki vomit EVERYWHERE.

So glad I have a Bissell.

Tuna definatly! All my cats go crazy for it. Every once in a while I will open a can and split it between all 5 cats. I used to give it to them alot but since learning from the cat site that too much people tuna can be harmful to cats, I only give it to them as a special treat.

Oscar loves several kinds of meat too. He's like crazy for every sort of fish, but not other seafood. He also enjoys beef, pork and chicken.

Salmon without a doubt!! They LOVE the Whiskas pouches of salmon in gravy. I know its probably kitty junk food- but they only get it occasionally.

I spoil them sometimes by giving them a little cooked fresh salmon and lobster- lucky kitties

On an everyday basis though, they like chicken as the main ingredient in their dry food. They get Iams original, and much prefer it over the oceanfish flavored variety.
