mine only get tuna if they need some meds as they wolf it so quickly and dont share it !! I use the one that is in spring water so no saltyness

This might be sort of off topic but what about the tuna in the canned wet cat food? Tequila and Maya love the Avoderm Tuna and Crab. Can too much of this be harmful? I've read that too much 'fish' is not good for them. Can someone confirm?

I have been trying to avoid wet food with Tuna in it but everything out there has tuna or some sorta fish. Tequila is getting finicky now.

Oh my, I have been going through so many cans of wet food trying to figure out who likes what. I manage to write it down but do you think I bring the darn list with me to the store? Nope. It's a guessing game.

I've got Forest, senior Manx that is picky what she eats now. She only eats Wellness minced tuna, BFF tuna and salmon, Blue Buffalo Spa Select Seafood and Salmon. Then there is Maya, she will eat anything put in front of her, she's now Miss Piggy.
Then there is Tequila. Oh Tequila. Mr.Picky. He will eat Royal Canin (not the best), Avoderm Tuna and crab, and Weruva Chicken in Gravy and Weruva Chicken and chicken liver. It seems like he won't touch much of the pate style of food.

I have tried to find a dry food for them with bigger kibble. Tequila swallows his kibble if small and then upchucks it. I need a kibble that is big that he needs to chew before swallowing. Is Before Grain kibble large size?

Haha!! This whole who eats what gives me the chuckles. I just wish that I can give someone the open cans that they don't eat instead of chucking them out. I don't think the SPCA takes them open. Oh well.

Unfortunatly, I have Tequila on the RC Maine Coon kibble. He was on a mixture of that and RC kitten at the breeders. I've tried to change his kibble over slowly but he leaves the healthy stuff and leaves eats all the RC. When I don't put more RC into the bowl, he will begrudgingly swallow the good stuff whether it be Orijen, Wellness, or Natural Planet Organics. Not long after eating it, he starts throwing up. *bang head against wall*

Weruva is good. Their website gives you a look at all the flavors and what it actually looks like. It's not the best bang for your buck ($1.69 5.5oz in Canada) but the flavors Tiki and Maya eat looks good enough for us to consume. Anything for them.

I have seen the Natural balance Platefulls at the store just never actually picked any up. I will take a closer look when I go to the store.

That video is little bothersome. Hope they return your email.

Most times I buy their food in the US. I cross border shop at least once every 2 weeks. Not really convienient to bring it back to Petco.

I found Natural Balance Platefulls on sale for .69 cents a pack at Tisol. It seems like Tequila and Maya likes the chicken and chicken liver. If they like the other flavors, I will go back and stock up.

Little Monkey has tuna maybe once a week and I only buy her the Tuna in Springwater, think the brine has too much salt for cats. She loves tuna and if we ever have a fussy food day we can always rely on tuna.
