Are male cats fussier eaters than females? |

my tom cat is not too fussy at all and the thieving female cat from nest door eats anything she can get her chops on - she sneaks in here all the time nicking his food and he does nothing about it - her owner buys exactly the same food as my cat has, but it makes no difference - she even eats it when it "gone off" a bit |

My old girl was like that. If it was good enough for someone else, it was good enough for her. |

He´s not too keen on being inspected & he refuses to consider anything that´s been cooked. |

I'm obviously a 'harsh' cat owner. My 3 are given a third of a can of cat food in the morning, and a sachet each (same variety) in the evening. They do have 2 types of dry food down and water. That's it. If they don't like, tough luck. They're not going to starve themselves. |

My senior male cat (a British Blue weighing > 20lb) is very keen on his nosh but is fussy. He gets by on Felix Marinades about 5 pouches/day. He tops up on whatever's going that he fancies - mussels, prawns, ham, chicken wings being favorites. |

Give them what they like it keeps wastage to a minimum and in the end is the cheapest way. If you are lucky he will eat something economical. Snr Blue for instance quite likes Tesco brand when his marinades are not available but won't eat Whiskas in any shape or form. A friend's cat is of the opposite opinion. Usually once you have hit on what they like they will eat the same again and again and again. |

Dry food for any cats as the main foodstuff is bad, but especially so for Toms. |

Felix marinades is very "wet" which is why my cat likes it. Give it a try. |

Thanks for the info Rollo. We live in Spain, so the choice is limited. The Spanish aren´t cat lovers. |
