Cats “really like” dry kibbles because of the artificial flavor enhancing “msg” style chemical in it. In fact,mother become so addicted to it that they will prefer it to fresh chicken or fish being cooked and served in the house. This is wrong.
Your cat should be very excited about real meat, even if he doesn’t get part of your filet mignon.
When you make the switch to no kibble (dogs too) and remove every kibble from your property, rats and rodents will be included to leave your property and head next door where they smell thst kibble.
And you will notice your pets’ coat becoming thick and glossy from high quality canned food, and their taste buds will not be dulled any more. They will find your foods attractive again. My cats have been interested in all meats and fish, and even melon and broccoli once getting off that flavored junk.
What do you think of the various raw food diets out there for cats and dogs? I think they have at least some merit. I have a copy of Michelle T. Bernard’s “Raising Cats Naturally.” Right now I can barely afford the cheap food, as I’m still looking for a job. But I might eventually try doing stuff like that part-time in the future.
