Because my cats have me well trained, and I am very indulgent of them, I try to please their tastes and cravings for food. Which seems to require a certain nimbleness of offerings. Sake liked cooked and chopped liver for a long, long, time, then grew tired of it, and liked various Fancy Feast http://www.fancyfeast.com/ offerings. Last Thanksgiving, she demanded Cornish game hen one Sunday morning, after being provided a taste the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before. And she has not been satisfied by repetitive offerings of liver or chicken meat. So, based on the advice of a friend, I alternate between cooked and chopped chicken liver and chicken meat, which seems to help. Sake seems to prefer breast meat, but will eat other parts of the chicken. But she seems to need the variety.
Haiku likes Fancy Feast, but also human tuna, and treats: Party Mix original and Sunflower Chicken http://www.friskies.com/Cat-Food/Cat-Treats, and Natural Sensations, Chicken and Dairy http://www.temptationstreats.com/cat-treats/default.aspx. Taki also likes those treats, but she mostly focuses on the Sunflower treats. But the truth be known all three cats like these treats, they just have a pecking order regarding access.
Taki prefers turkey based food. Which makes sense. When she was little, and started to helping herself to adult food, the "kitten food" I found for her was turkey based, and paté. So, she seems to prefer paté to chunk or gravied food, and turkey flavor. But she also likes fish based food, more so than the other cats.
But, I have have caught the other cats "in the act." Sake likes gravy, even in a paté food. They all eat from the various bowls I have offered. Not one is subject to starvation.
