    I used to meal prep for Melbcat but she refused to eat it! It was too healthy for her taste

    (She’d be happy to eat steak though)

      Miss Meow used to quite like the raw food, and the meal prep was just dividing up the bulk bag to smaller containers for the freezer. But the vet advised not to feed her that because of her immune issues, so now she gets Whiskas and meal prep is just mashing it with a fork when I serve because she can’t deal with chunks now that she has no teeth. She still manages the dry food somehow though!

        Melbcat’s home cooked food was low protein vet nutritionist created recipes designed for cats with kidney disease. It wasn’t yummy enough! She sent it back to the kitchen and said ’fancy tins please’

          I think cats can get used to salty food and start to demand it.

            Our Miss Mimi is especially fussy.

            There’s particular varieties of particular cat food brands that she’ll eat.

            But if you give her the wrong one, she’ll just look at you as if to say: “Excuse me servant, send this one back to the kitchen! Haven’t we already been over this before?! This is not the tuna I like!” 😾

            Oh yes, baby girl tells me when it’s time for a treat.

            Ironically the cooked nutritionist food did have some salt though (potassium chloride)
