Ask the Pet Food Expert: Help! My cat only likes a brand I can’t find!

A Pawfun Blog reader Sarah Rockett writes: I have a diabetic cat who has been off of insulin for the last two years thanks to a carnivore diet.

However, he is an extremely picky eater. When he was first diagnosed, he refused to eat wet food, but I was finally able to find a wet food that he liked: Evangers (only the holistic pheasant and seafood dinners). Unfortunately, I am not able to get Evangers pet food any longer, and am now having to search for a new pet food to feed him, but cannot find another brand that he will eat.

He doesn’t like anything that resembles people food, unless its thin deli sliced turkey meat. I’ve tried just about every brand that the pet food stores carry, poultry and seafood flavors. Either the pet food is too much like people food and he won’t eat it, or the pate is too fine and he won’t eat it.

I’ve even tried mixing 1/4 teaspoon of other brands in with the Evangers, but he won’t eat it. I even have to change spoons when dishing out his food if I feed our other cat something that is not Evangers pheasant or seafood dinner. Do you have any advice on what is so special about Evangers pet food that I may be able to find in another brand? Thanks!

Pawfun’s Pet Food Expert, Anthony Holloway, president of K9Cuisine.com says: Why cats like one variety of food over another is one of the mysteries of the universe. We have both of the Evangers cat foods in stock. If this is what works you could stick with it. Also Orijen has a Six-Fish Cat food now that may work. Orijen’s is a dry cat food.
