Did Sheba used to be sold in the U.S.? I thought I remembered the cans from when I was a kid. Maybe not. LOL.
 
Apache (16 years old) loves raw hamburger, 70% lean only. She also loves mice, fresh mice, but she has lost all her teeth in the last two years because of her hyperthyroid disease and she can no longer chew them.

The other cats will accept regular cat treats, but not Apache!
LauraFeatherCat: You can order *ground* (raw) mice from Hare Today Gone Tomorrow. Maybe that will work for Apache. New product. I feed Ritz raw, but for some reason am reluctant to feed her mice.
 
Hmm...well I know what Torri likes best. Game meats, the bigger the beast the better! Moose is a real hit with her, so is elk, or deer. Unfortunately it's hard for me to get that stuff so she doesn't get it very often. She also really likes beef heart, but pork heart is ok too.

Jitzu used to eat anything and everything (literally...) but since she's been sick she's gotten much pickier. She loves people food and goes nuts for banana bread specifically. Any bread products she loves, especially dough. She also really likes, and will beg for, cooked veggies like potatoes, broccoli, peas, and carrots. When it comes to kitty food she's been having trouble lately. But she likes turkey and pork, and can keep it down thank goodness. A tiny bit of Tuna is also a favorite.

Doran will eat anything I feed him, but he likes dark meats best. Chicken hearts are a favorite treat. He also loves Mrs. Vickies Salt and Vinegar chips (my favorite) and make the cutest little wrinkley face when he eats his chippies :)

Muffin likes pretty much any raw food. He isn't a fan of canned food, and refuses to eat kibble. He, also, loves chicken hearts, gizzards too. His favorite treat is cheese, little bits.

All four kitties like the occasional McNugget (they each get 1/4 of a nugget), bit of sausage or kovbasa (we say it 'ku-bah-saw'), or a bite of cooked meat. They all like fresh cooked bread, to varying degrees, but only get a little bit as a treat.
 
Mia has gone through so many different foods its unreal.:fust She always does well when she first starts to eat something then gets bored after a few weeks. I have always had her on dry only but started giving her some Friskies wet (only kind I can afford) the last couple weeks and she eats with a vigor. She was eating Evo dry too but wont anylonger so now she eating the Friskies wet and Purina One dry (the only dry it seems she will eat now). I know its not the best but at least she is eating and healthy(she got constipated really bad on the Evo).
 
Missy has done this. It's really quite slow and deliberate. I've been told it's covering food to come back to later, but she doesn't do it if I put smething else down alongside
my first cat and now my youngest cat are the only two who do it, but trust me, they aren't coming back for it later! lmao i've heard that burying thing, but i don't buy it.

my other two honestly don't seem to ever turn food down.

i bought sheba a occasionally 15 years ago, i guess i didn't notice when they stopped selling it.

and we have a new favorite: weruva paw lickin' chicken. as a matter of fact, i'm being nagged for it *this very minute* (had to stop and feed) and the middle east feast with talapia is also a winner winner chicken dinner.

the chicken one reminds me of the appetizers made by fancy feast. they both do but the fish one smells better than their tuna one. i used to only buy the chicken one sometimes but they're REALLY expensive, considering you only get like a bite, or a serving for one cat, so i think the weruva comes out to being cheaper. i'm a big fan of it too :)
 
Marge is besotted with Royal Canin Kitten Instinctive pouches and James Wellbeloved Turkey pouches, for meat nibbles nothing tickles her more than some warm fresh sliced turkey and veggie wise she is head over heals for mushy peas and whole baby carrots, so much so that if I have any of either on my plate I have to become a human hoover or have my said vegetables swiped swiftly from my plate before I could say mew.
 
Hanx has lots that he likes, and a few that he loves. He LOVES Weruva, especially Cats in the Kitchen. He also loves Primal freeze dried chicken and salmon and Natures Varity raw chicken. He really likes natures variety instinct canned anything & natural balance anything. Those are typically the 4 brands I rotate with, Primal, Natures Variety, Weruva and Natural Balance. NB is the affordable one.

He enjoys Merrick occasionally and sorta likes Before Grain, but not much. On rare occasions I'll give him kibble and he freakin' loves it- Natures Variety chicken.
 
I so envy the immense variety of excellent-quality wet food pouches and domes that the Europeans have!! Last year I was sent by work to Europe a few times and my huge trunk of a suitcase was packed full of this stuff, so I still have some. In my country they only sell Natural Balance for good quality wet canned (then there are all the mcdonald's kinds like Fancy Feast, Friskies, Felix, Technical, etc., which my cats like but not as much as the European stuff, and I feed these only rarely because they're so unhealthy).

Princess loves also kidney, liver and chicken breast. Prince and Lady won't touch kidney but love liver and chicken breast. Everything else I tried (duck, beef, other chicken parts) they only ate when they were strays or recently adopted, but they soon caught on that they could be picky, because there's always enough food they can skip a meal or a few meals if they don't LOVE what's for dinner. Fortunately, they all eat their Orijen, which is the default, always available in free-feeding form.

Even my strays downstairs skip dinner and go on hunger strike when there's no meat in it.
 
I used to feed my little Freakie dry and canned food until I tried giving her some of my raw chicken breast. She gobbled it up! So after finishing all the kibble and canned food in the house, I switched her to a raw diet. She loves her chicken meat and chicken liver. I'll be introducing gizzard soon.
 
fav foods

Hi,

My cats eat both dry and wet food, as well as home made food.

In terms of dry food, it's Oven Baked Tradition chicken flavour.

In terms of wet food, they like Nature's Variety, Wellness, and Go Grain Free. (Sometimes a friend of mine brings a special treat canned food called Zupreem, they love it!). I like to alternate the flavours, and they seem to enjoy the variety!

As far as home made treats, they go crazy for free-range organic chicken livers and hearts that I cut in very thin slices, I buy them from the butcher, slice them raw and freeze them in zip locks bags...whenever they hear the sound of a zip lock bag opening, the whole tribe runs to me!

Unfortunately Tutu loves Fancy Feast more than anything.

She loves it so much, she inhales it (not literally), and if it's the chunky kind she will puke it up.

Even though it's nice a cheap and the ingredients are horrible.... I'm going to actually be looking into a different brand soon...

Unfortunately there are no pet stores near me at all. Amazon free shipping for the win....
