Thank you! That sounds like a great idea. She’s only 3-4 years old but she’s always been picky. And it seems like she’s CONSTANTLY changing her mind!How old is your cat? The older, the more likely that a huge selection being rotated might be the answer, IMO. Feeby (19+ yo) has gotten to the point that she will eat a very limited number of foods, but there has to be anywhere from 1-2 weeks in between when they can be served again. If served closer together she tends to reject them. Go figure. It will all depend on you testing different strategies. This is one.
Another thing I have found is that she really wants either beef or chicken, or a combo of them. She was eating turkey, venison, and duck, but they have fallen out of favor with her, although if they are added as a third meat ingredient, she might eat them. She never much cared for rabbit or lamb. It was easy to figure out that pate is the only form of wet food she likes, so that might be something else to look at - the textures your cat seems to prefer.
Try logging what you feed your cat, and how much she eats/how she reacts to it, and maybe you can find a pattern over time.
She’ll eat, but she some days eats with gusto and some times turns up her nose. She eats kibble, but wet food - one day she loves it and the next day she’s like “no thanks”. She does have health problems (like severe asthma) so she’s at the vet like every two months. But she’s always been picky. I just wish I could find that one food that would make her eat well every day.Is she picky in that she just doesn't eat or is it that she'll eat some flavors, but not others. I ask because sometimes being picky can indicate something else going on.
Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve never tried Duck. I’ll have to give that a try.My Nocturne has IBD which means she gets food-aversions from nausea so finding foods she likes is hard. Sometimes she'll like a food and then get sick after eating it and her body says "it was the food, you should never eat it again". She is on Cerenia which helps.
Right now she likes Wellness Turkey Gravies, ProPlan Sensitive Skin & Stomach Duck, Beyond Canadian Duck and Sweet Potato, and Nacho Digestive Support (Turkey & Pheasant)
She also liked some of the Tiki Pates, Dave's Turkey, and Essence Gamebird
I found she really likes Turkey and Duck more than Chicken, Beef, or Rabbit. Duck especially has a strong scent, which some cats prefer when deciding if they want to eat a food.
