Raw - freeze dried turkey.  I was giving Carleton Stella & Chewy but have alternated with Primal and he loves both, can't eat it fast enough.

Leroy's a walking trash can / vacuum cleaner. He'll eat anything that he can get his mouth around, edible or not

Emma doesn't really have a favorite food. She's a little picky with raw meats and treats.

My cats were very fussy eaters. They liked 9 Lives tuna & egg the best.

Hekitty will only eat two or three brands of kibble.  She will NOT touch canned food or people food, with the exception of tuna water and raspberry sherbet (NOT as the same time).  She has an addiction to Temptations (Kitty Crack), which I severely limit.

My boys absolutely love Soulistic in gelee, but no way mama is gonna pay for that all the time, so it's more of a treat. Penelopy is my big dry food addict, she loves the Science Diet 11+ (she is literally dancing when I'm filling the bowl). Maple loves pretty much any cat food. None of them are really that big into people food (unlike Lucky and Sara, who would steal food off my plate!).

very nice!!! 

  it's so very good to hear about cats who aren't very finicky!

our Punky tried the Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet salmon and green pea; ate it for two days and then refused it. our DeeDee tried it for one meal, and after that won't have anything to do with it. however, our Dude likes it......

    i remember reading that Dick Van Patten sold Natural Balance, must have been years ago now. i used to serve my Mickey

and Snick

this same exact canned food, when they were diagnosed with IBD. something, and i mean not good at all, has happened to that canned food. it used to be pinkish in color, like salmon would be; now it's clay/mud colored. and WOW! it's smell is simply horrid! 

  i added a little water to Punky's, and i swear it looked like pudding consistency poop...and had a smell that was on par with it.

today all three cats tried First Mate Wild Salmon Limited Ingredient Diet. i don't think i've seen all three cats so enthusiastically eating ever! and everyone ate everything in their dish, with the exception of our petite DeeDee who ate almost everything.

Favorite is canned fish food from Fancy Feast. Especially trout or shrimp.

The vet says a little blueberry yogurt once in a while is fine. I've usually given cats a teaspoon of plain yogurt, cottage cheese or quark once or twice a week as a little treat, but for some reason Mogli wants blueberry yogurt and Jamie wanted walnut, but of a different brand.

Despite all his problems with foodstuffs, Mogli isn't lactose intolerant. He used to steal and bite into containers of cream every chance he got. It got so bad that we started buying it in glass bottles.

Actually he's been exceptionally picky about canned food and every brand, every type I tried gave him loose poops or diarrhea.  That's the reason I tried freeze dried raw - he loves it and no loose stools.

Glad to hear the First Mate Wild Salmon LID worked for your crew - success!

Currently I'm giving her Blue Buffalo Hairball and Weight Control.  I will continue as long as I can afford it.  She would prefer Friskies.  She's a cheap date.  Kibble only.  Will gladly go 3 days without eating if faced with canned food.  Silly puss.  Then there is her Temptations addiction.  I've donated close to $100 in untouched premium, natural and healthy treats to the Morehead SPCA over the past 2-3 years, trying to find something better for her that she will touch. " Finicky" does not begin to cover my cat!

Honeybee LOVES temptations because Jon spoils her rotten.

She will stalk him until he gives her some...her latest trick...is biting! She will sit and stare at him and meow softly. He ignores her..then watch out! She jumps up and bites him on the arm!!! then he reaches out to pet her and she jumps off and away! Then they repeat it a few times. He teases her...wiggles his finger on the top of the couch to her sitting on the floor-then she jumps and bites..and he tries to pull his hand back but alas..claws!!!

So then he gives her treats which she is like a snapping turtle. I have got her to gently take them out of my fingers without biting me. He usually sprinkles a few on the floor otherwise she is a hoover and they all go at once...this goes on several times a day..he ignores her, she snaps her tail and stares at him..then pounces on him!!

She also likes freeze dried treats but not as much as kitty crack. She is a trash can as well. Anytime there are bits of crumbs from our chips or whatever we are eating-she runs over and sniffs the floor like a dog and eats it..dust ball. food..doesn't matter. So I am always telling him don't drop small items or she eats it..she is worse than a baby!! everything goes in her mouth!

Pumps doesn't beg or bite. She just sits up when she sees Honeybee getting treats so we try to always give Pumpkin Face treats before the brat. Sometimes Honeybee climbs up and steals her treats...she really is a bully...spoiled rotten fluff ball of orange marmalade hair.

Honeybee eats ANYTHING on my finger..I have gotten her to eat-mashed potatoes, squash, green beans, ice cream, chocolate coating on an ice cream sandwich-only a tiny flake=not a big piece!, crust from pie, crackers-she LOVES cheese crackers, gravy, turkey, chicken sometimes but not usually, haddock, shrimps, spegattios once. but she had a yuck face after.. my middle eastern rice dishes-she didn't care for that after lol. she likes cheese curls..she just always wants to see what I am eating but mostly sniff whatever it is..and if crumbs fall on the floor...hoover!

Pumpkin face hates people food. Hates canned pumpkin that I sometimes have to give her to combat the constipation. Shrimps are her favorite food but they have to be shredded into small pieces. Tuna. no other fish..no turkey or chicken. not even boiled chicken.

They eat 4Health Kibble from tractor Supply- the angel cat Floey had ultrasensitive tummy and can't eat corn-it was one of the few dry kibble she would eat. we are just finishing up the last of the bag we bought this summer. I have a bag of Taste of the Wild which is what they have been eating for quite some time. They don't like grocery store food..won't touch it. Floey didn't like it either..so I will try to get them on a better brand once we use up the 4 bags of kibble left over from the summer when Floey was fussy about eating..they don't eat as much as Floey did!! Floey was the food hog..we had to put it up high otherwise she would hog the food so no one could eat!

I sometimes can get them to eat canned but only pate. No chunks or other foolishness. I have tried all the fancy foods that are recommended..I even mix it in the kibble..nope..not a lick or pick! Weravera I think it's called=they have a chicken canned that looks like soup and they lick the juice but won't eat the meat. They tried raw and don't like it either but Honeybee ate some raw liver this thanksgiving=I cut in tiny pieces and she ate that up like she was starving..I should try to feed them some raw foods.
