To those that have cats, what cat food do you use?

[JuliaStyles]

I have 2 fairly new cats and one had been a feral kitten that I adopted. Both of them are pickier than I can believe. A hungry cat will eat most anything, right? Not these two. I have tried multiple brands of canned food and Meow mix, Purina One, Fancy feast, dry and can, Kit & Kaboodle, and a couple of off brands. Even the feral cat's feral mother won't touch a couple of them and she is far from picky. It almost has come to the point where I have to put tuna juice when I make tuna salads, or canned gravy to get the finicky things to eat. Any ideas?

We have a tortoise shell cat who gets stressed from the other cat and this has a tendency to give her UTIs.
So, we have both of our cats now on this:
Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Feline Urinary So Dry Cat Food
www.royalcanin.com/.../urinary-so-dry-cat-food

We buy it in a big tub from our vet for something like about $70-$80 but it lasts 2-3 months at least.

I forgot to mention, this cat food is ONLY available from a vet or with a vet's prescription.

I heard cats, especially the ones used to living on the street, are quite picky because they don't like unfamiliar food.
It's a way for them to minimize the risk of getting sick from something they shouldn't be eating.

Tried any of the meaty paté kinds instead of the molded chunky stuff?

[Daniela1982]

Seriously, wild cats would eat a dead toad if they were hungry enough. you name it. These two are prima donnas or something. Have you tried using just one brand that they are used to. Maybe changing it up confuses them.

[HugoThe2nd]

Lol, my mother took in a pretty shabby looking stray and it too is incredibly picky.
It won't eat anything other than regular meat off the table or those kinds of flakes/fillets molded to look like bits of meat.
It won't touch any of those artificially shaped meats, sometimes not even if a bit of grease/juice from lunch meat is drizzled over them.

Yeah, it eventually settled for one specific brand, and others that look very similar to it.

My cats started off loving the extra gravy ones but started moving off them so I tried them on a loaf/paté style meat and they love that. I think it's good to just switch it up go and buy a few different ones in the little single cans and see what ones they like.

For biscuits they get purina one

All cats are different. Some like sachets in gravy. Others prefer jelly. In UK, our Charley Farley likes any flavours of Felix "As Good as it Looks" with jelly. Sometimes we give him Whiskers for a change.

Try Harringtons biscuits or Iams. Last thing at night he has a Lick-E-Lix, any flavour.

Our previous cat, Freya, loved frozen prawns. Thawed of course! Both Charley and Freya would eat cooked chicken, too, although there is some data that says it isn't good for cats.

Thank you for MHO!

We use blue wilderness mature cat chicken flavor. We had been using Neutro Max Cat but it was discontinued, and it took a while to find a new one the cats wouldn't turn their nose up to.

Check out your pet stores or farm suppliers and ask the staff for assistance and they'll be more than happy to help.
A good mix of dry and wet foods is always good or one in the morning and the other in the evening

[Siren777]

Feline cuisine, fancy feasts and formula when needed. Tuna sometimes cause they're picky eaters lol

[The_Maphio]

I'm at home with Friskies' wet food and Monge's dry food.

I use Science Diet as my vet recommends it, and my cats love it.
