    Dude I have 2 cats that I love and spoil but they are totally like this. I bought a huge pack of super premium cat food (that they were already used to eat) and my cat just refuses to touch it. She lost so much weight I had to go buy the special expensive food just for her. Event took her to the vet ($$$) no issues just picky

      What kind of bowl do you use? And do you have their water near the food bowl? Cats usually dislike bowls that are small enough that they hit their whiskers on the sides when they bend down and sometimes they don’t like to eat where they drink (something in their evolutionary background tells them that it’s unsanitary or something).

      Of course, cats can also just be picky eaters and get tired of the food. That’s also pretty common.
