My cat has become so picky all he will eat is treats. Does anyone know a healthy cat food that my cat would actually eat????

I have wasted a LOT of money on cat food. I bought dry food from the vet...had to give that away. I bought Blue Buffalo chicken flavor dry food....going to give that away soon. I used to buy wet food, the gourmet stuff (might have been friskies) where the meat looked so good I would have eaten it myself on a bet. Had to stop buying that because he would take a bite and walk away.

I am looking for some kind of cat food that is even MORE delicious than the treats (Temptations). Any suggestions?

Yes---own the cat instead of letting it own you. Put the food YOU want the cat to eat in the cat dish and leave it there. At some point the cat will eat it--and from then on it will. Right now it knows it can control what you feed it---because you give in and do it.

@anythingoes477 You are probably right. The Blue Buffalo has been sitting in his dish for almost a month now, and I feel like he will starve if I don't feed him.
@4meAndyou If you had oatmeal or spinach in front of you but knew if you held out your mom would give you a candy bar instead if you just meowed loud enough---you'd do it---right? Treats are called treats because they taste good------but usually they have very little in nutritional value--compared to a quality food. You're not helping your cat by giving in. You're hurting it's health.

Try the dry cat food called "One". They always seem to like that. Also don't feed your cat adult cat food if it is a kitten. It will mess up its digestion system.
The healthiest is raw food.
The second healthiest is all meat, canned food.
NO carbs of any sort and definitely not grains in the wet food.
Cats do not need carbs, they are obligate carnivores.
Grains are an evil best avoided, especially GLUTEN.

When I began the only canned good meat food regimen, one of my ladies was able to get rid of her IBS. YUP.
The N.A. VETS WERE CLUELESS, I got nowhere with them in this regard.
PATHETIC.
I did a lot of research and actually a VET from Europe had enough wisdom to suggest something to me.
I also confirmed that in a book I'd read, written in English.
I took it from there.

Try EVO. All of my feline people LOVED It.
Now, we can't get it where I live.

One of mine LOVES raw, and also she loves cooked veggies! Just like her little doggy sister.
From time to time I do give them cooked vegetables and put canned tuna in their canned food.

Hope your monkey will like it.

P.S. As you know too many treats are really unhealthy.
Unless say, it's air dried liver or other meats and organ meats.
Then it is the perfect Treat, more like a meal really :)

P.P.S. I added you to my circle.

I really enjoyed your posts.

@4meAndyou Ok. Good luck. I hope the baby likes it.

Thank you for accepting my request.

If I ever get another cat it'll get real food like steamed chicken, cottage cheese, etc. and not packaged cat food. The last cat had health problems that I later figured out was probably ingredients in the food I was giving her.

my cat is pretty fussy but he loves Fancy Feast, he is diabetic so we have to make sure he eats fairly regularly and he always eats this stuff

@lorne13 Fancy feast...that is the stuff I was giving him. He would take one bite and walk away.

Nothing wrong with the food you've bought...
Give a mix of dry and wet food, smallish portions (in separate bowls)
When the cat is hungry, it'll eat
4meAndyou · F
@SW-User I'll try that, and perhaps take away the treats.
I buy "dad's" brand cat food (and dog food) you can get it at the tractor supply store or the dollar general store idk where else

Let your cat go couple days without food and it will start eating Damn near anything you put out.

@4meAndyou cats are wild. They only pretend to be pets. Truth.
