I am not talking about what the best food is nutritionally, just curious about what your cat loves to eat when it comes to cat food, not human food we may share ;D
It may be something you wish they didn't prefer because it's not so healthy and you probably don't give it to them often/ever, but i just wanted to know what has the best flavour to the kitties. Is it the ever dreaded Whiskas? Iams? Science Diet? or do they actualy prefer Wellness? Innova? etc. etc.

Jamie loves a European cat food consisting of 74% human grade meat or fish, 1% natural rice, and 25% spring water. It's called "almo nature". The producer is registered in Italy, but most of the food is actually canned in Thailand or Uruguay. It's pretty expensive - USD .70 to 1.00 for a 3-ounce can, with an average-sized cat requiring two to three cans a day. He also loves "Solid Gold" canned and dry, and Eukanuba "lamb & liver" or Felidae dry.

Seamus loves the Nutra brand Chicken Caccitore flavor. And he prefers diced, sliced, or chunked vs pate varieties. He also likes Fancy Feast. He does not like beef flavored foods. I tried the Nutra Beef Ragout flavor and he turned his nose up.

Out of my 4 (Milo only spends weekends with me) I have hard time finding a flavor that all 4 of them will eat, it is kind of frustrating.

If we are talking canned food, it's Active Life...most of the flavors, though Patrick likes the ground pate ones best.

Dry food, they seem to love their current food which is nutro natural choice complete care weight management.

Proplan Chicken with gravy - they seem to like the proplan more consistently than any of the other premium foods. Anything with chicken and salmon seem to be appreciated by all 5 of them. I do know that they prefer the taste of the non-premium foods over the premium, however, so a lot of time the food sits in their dish and then gets thrown out un-eaten:-(.

Dryfood - we have a mix of W/D, Eukanuba, Authority and Royal Canin or Proplan - different ones for different cats (weight loss/hairball/senior) - but they don't stick to to their own always - ah well. They are all alert, energetic, healthy, with soft and shiny coats and clear eyes, and only one of them is overweight (Tristan).

I can't get any of my cats to touch Friskies brand, even the strays that I feed won't eat Friskies.

They all seem to really prefer the Nutro natural choice between that and Iams, but I am noticing that the nutro canned food is not as well recieved (Paige and Ghibli eat them, but molly only laps the gravy) They all suck up the petguard brand pate style wet food, no matter the flavor- and even Molly circles and meows for it, where she used to not beg for food. Ghibli has even climbed me to get to the petguard as I prepare it (I mix in a TSP of organic meat baby food that's already got 1 capsule of lysine- It seems to keep them all healthier, though it's really intended for ghibli- he seems to have a bit of a sensitive immune system, though he 's not got anything to indicate a weakness in the immune system, vis a vis feleuk/ herpes/ fiv- He's been tested and his parents have been as well.. *shrug*) They love it!

Buddy will eat anything you put infront of him. He doesn't seem to have a favourite...although there was that one time I gave him some Merrick Turducken as a treat (He's still on kitten food) and he gobbled it down.

Nya is a VERY fussy eater. It took me a long time to find something she liked. Luckily it's good for her!
Her favourite is the Wellness Turkey, or Chicken and Beef wet foods (I have her on a wet diet, which I prefer nutritionally, but she wouldn't touch dry if I tried anyway!)

They both go nuts for the junk food, especially Whiskas. A few days ago, I got them some Whiskas Temptations (I don't see anything wrong with getting junk food treats, since they aren't eating it on a regular basis), and Buffy has already tore the bag open. And when I give her the treats, she doesn't seem to chew: she just inhales and begs for more. Same thing with Willow, though she actually chews the food and won't start crying when Buffy steals her kibbles.

Kioko is very picky, and unfortunately the only thing she really loves is Fancy Feast, which she only gets when I run out of the good stuff and the pet stores are closed. With other foods she'll only eat seafood, but she'll eat any flavor of Fancy Feast with gusto.
