Maybe not, but the vet also suggested hiding her pill in canned
water-packed tuna and she wouldn't eat that, either. She hated all
fishy type cat food. So much for "all cats love fish".

Some cats sure do. Mr.Kitty here would only eat fish
flavored food. He loved "Meow Mix" too for dried stuff.
That must have had a slight fish taste (?)

All our cats had different preferences, most prefered fish but many
prefered poultry, few prefered beef... of all the preferences they all
prefered my pork chops/roasts. None of our cats ever got to try bacon
or lamb... then again I've never seen any cat food labeled contains
bacon/lamb. A lot of dog food contains bacon... just proves that cats
are smarter and dogs have TIAD. A lot of dogs consider eating their
own and other dogs feces a treat.... talk about TIAD.

At PetSmart, there is at least dry cat food that contains lamb, but I can't
remember the brand name. There's also one there that has a rabbit and duck
combo and I may try a bag of it on Pema.

Blue Wilderness is one she simply will not eat. Two of the neighborhood
cats don't care for it either and the stuff is expensive.

Cats don't like health food any more than people do

My old siamese would rather catch a mouse, rat, squirrel or rabbit
and eat it than store bought food. She eats everything except a
little dab of innards (gall bladder etc.) With larger prey like
rabbits, often the hind part is left since she always starts at the
head. On days she doesn't get a varmint or two, she likes the plain
walmart special kitty brand just fine.

Once I bought some expensive cat snacks like the hipsters buy, but
she wouldn't touch it. I guess she's like me and has very plebian
tastes.

What I can't stand is when they bring me a 'present' like the head or feet of
an animal they have dispatched. UGH!

None of the cats I've ever had cared for the 'treats' either.

Many years ago I had a part Maine Coon cat and he dearly loved a brand of
dry cat food called "Alley Cat." I'm not even sure that the brand is still
on the market. Anyway, he gets up in the middle of the night to go have a
nibble or two before coming back to bed. I knew he'd been snacking as when
he got back in the bed he plopped on the pillow with me and was breathing
in my face. The garlic on his breath brought me fully awake!!!

Yep, there are lamb cat foods available. Typically lamb & brown rice
for cats with sensitive stomachs. Sheldon orders cat food from Chewey;
all he has to do is type lamb cat food into their search bar to find the
different brands.

Bacon cat food might not be available (too salty!) but Buffy sure does
come sniffing around when I'm eating bacon! But hey, I don't give her
"people food". I didn't feed Persia people food, either.

Buffy loves canned beef Fancy Feast (pate, not that gravy laden stuff),
also the poultry varieties including turkey & giblets. Oh, and beef &
liver! Like Persia before her, she's not interested in fishy cat food.

The only people food Pema is interested in is a pinch of American or Gouda
cheese. But her preference is American.

Ms Kitty FatCat eats dry cat food from Walmart (Special Kitty I
think) and whatever she catches and kills out in the woods . She won't
touch people food , not meat scraps or any of the stuff cats usually go
for . She dropped in for a visit about 3 or 4 years ago and decided she
would hang around and allow us to feed and care for her .

Yes , I'm old
and crotchety - and armed .
Get outta my woods !

Wierdly, I've never had a cat that liked tuna. They have liked other
things 'seafood' with shrimp being the universal winner.

Current cats (Mona and Luko, 13yo brother and sister)like suriname for
a treat.
