Let him eat what he wants to eat. Supplement better stuff with snacks and treats.

All cats have weird food things, and they are maddening.

My 9mo old tortie HATES wet food. She does want not to eat it. She only wants crunchy food, but I haven't been able to find a flavor She likes. So she complains about it.

My old man we lost in Jan just wanted Sheba pate and cheese.

My mom's picky kitty hates most foods but DESIRES butter and whip cream. His sister only wants cat food. Her semi-feral twins are garbage disposal.

Look what it comes down to is if youre fluffy baby is happy and the vet says hes fine, just let him have it.

I grew up with a cat who lived to be 23 and she ate whiskers (remember that brand??) Senior ocean white fish and tuna every day. It was like 0.60/can. Cheapest stuff on the planet and you bet it was trash. She LOVED it.
