Is your cat a picky eater?  

Hey that is what fur babies are here for, for us to spoil! lol I know what you mean, I have four and the oldest is 11 yrs and they are all spoiled rotten! But, I don't care, I love 'em! :)

I did see that the other day. We may be switching to that. Since the Nutro was recalled, we have been using the Mewo-Mix in a pouch, but the cats are starting to reject it. Plus, they are shedding a lot more and their coats just don't look as good. The Meow-Mix is suppose to be really good food to. It is all real chicken, tuna, etc with few preservatives but it doesn't have all the greens and whatnot. I am dragging my hubby to the pet store later in the week to pick out new food.

FYI if you have a Petsmart near by they have a buy 2 get one free on those pouches and some of the money goes to charity. I think they have some deal with one of the Purina dry cat food as well.

Awww - 17 is a great age for a cat! I guess my oldest cat Sasha is quite a picky eater - he had feline leukaemia when he was a kitten, and ever since then, he has had quite a delicate stomach. He has to eat special dietary food, and if he triues anything else he is invariably sick! My others will eat anything though!

I free feed my cats so they get the same kind of dry food all the time. I know it would be better if I didn't free feed, but with 25 cats I just don't have time for a life & feeding the cats.

My cat(s) are extremly picky, they might like the fish flavor for a day and then they are done with it and want something different, I have gone to buying Friskies since it is cheaper than the Whiskas and they don't devour it like the Whiskas. The Friskies comes in several varieties sliced, shredded and regular, they like the slice but not for any length of time, usually a few days so I am forced to buy all the different varities and I still get one of my cats (my white cat) that he is not pleased with his food and wants something different. There is no pleasing them I am convinced.

At 17, I think your kitty should get to be as picky as he likes. That is a great age! Does he still have all of his teeth?

Both my cats are picky eaters..They absolutely positively will not eat any food from Foodland or from Dollar General..I don't know why..and sometimes I pay pretty good money....Granted it's the bargain bags I select.

Do you think they can read price tags;))+

Oh wow he is really an old cat. I have 3 of them and all of them are picky. They all like something different. Its really a pain in the butt shopping for them. Because sometimes one store wont have what I want. So then I will have to go to another store.LOL But I would do it for them I do love them. And Im sure you love yours.

My cat is a bit finicky too, but I think most cats are. My cat only likes Friskies dry cat food and nothing else will do. In fact, he gets really ticked off if the store is out of that brand and we buy something else. He will actually go on a hunger strike! How in the world do they get so big for their britches?

My cat is only 4 1/2. He's a picky spoiled rotten little thing. I can't imagine what he'll be like at 17. (I told him he had to live to be 20, so he better live to be 17!). He is very very picky about wet cat food. He only likes a certain texture. Meow Mix, "What's the Catch?" is his favorite. Sometimes he'll eat the other flavors but rarely. He only likes wet food in flakes. If it's the wrong texture he wants nothing to do with it.

Dry food, which he mainly eats, he lives off of Science Diet, the one in the beige package, not the white. I forget what it's called. He won't eat the little round green pieces though.
