Am I the only person that thinks some flavours of cat food are weird? Take beef for instance. Can anyone actually see a cat (obviously not big cats) taking down a cow. Lamb is similar, although I'm guessing they may do it just to play with the wool. Tuna is another one I think is weird, because I don't know any cats at all that go swimming in the ocean and catch tuna.

I'm probably guessing that spider, bluebottle, mouse or random bird flavoured food wouldn't sell too well, but I just wonder whether cats think the stuff us humans buy them food wise is weird.

If Felix came in vole flavour, that would be my cats' top choice!

I think that might have been my late cats choice too.

Our cat will not eat lamb or beef, it seems if she couldn't catch it she wouldn't eat it except for Tuna. I tend to stick to birds like chicken and turkey. She will have an odd bit of salmon and cod etc I suppose it is wierd but our cat is a fussy cat. She won't eat spider,flies or mice. She will kill them though. If she killed a bird she wouldn't know how to eat it. Heck the cat mieows to come in doors to have a dump in her litter tray.

It's the same for dogs, my partners dog will share breakfast with me. Toast with jam. Would dogs in the wild eat bread and jam? He loves cheese too. I am always asking my partner doesn't he get bored or dry food and mince meat. Is that what he'd eat in the wild? If I were a cat or dog i'd want variety. Is dry food natural for dogs and cats?

it's not natural, but it's convenient and balanced. (a human equivalent product of a dry dog/cat food would be brilliant, instant balanced diet - i know i'd eat it! save time and it'd probably make the weekly shop a damn sight cheaper too.)

variety is good for dogs, we had an older collie who was a really fussy eater, so we gave her all sorts through her life and her meals were always different (the only constant thing she god was her dinner, tinned beef slices in gravy with some weetabix and mashed vegetables mixed in, and a bowl of bakers biscuits being left down on an evening for if she fancied some "crunch")
her evening meals were cooked by me though (she was a fussy hound, remember.) cycled through lamb/pig/and beef heart, diced and boiled with pasta/rice and some vegetables, or kidney/liver done in the same manner.
she'd every so often just have some microwaved fish and rice. and she only ever ate something out of the street once.

where as our other dog would eat a dry food and was quite happy with that (though his evening meal was replaced with whatever the first dog was having most nights so we didn't feel so guilty) since the older dog passed away, he doesn't get that meal on an evening any more - instead he has his dry food
he's started picking bits up in the street now. not all the time, only on the odd occasion. really don't like him doing it, but i'm not going to be cooking for him every night for the rest of his days as well. (he still gets it as the odd treat once in a blue moon mind)

something i don't understand is cat foods with carrot and other vegetables in them... what benefit is there of that?!
it just sails right out the other end of the cat. purely there to entice the owner.

I tried my cat on Bozita raindeer pate. However she didn't like it at all even though it's got 20 times more meat content than most foods.
