Levi Makes His Preferences Known

Levi is a canned cat-food lover. He's made that very clear already!  He talks to me about how much he adores his canned cat food - or people food for that matter! (though his access to human food is severely restricted!).  Levi prefers soft, aromatic tuna, salmon, chicken and even beef over kibble.  I may just have to learn to cook for cats.  He's now convinced his older 'brother' that canned food is the way to go, too.

Not that Shoga requires a whole lot of convincing in the food department.  Shoga has a weight problem (but that's a story for another time).  Levi's new 'sister', Roxy, however, consistently refuses soft food of any kind (except cheese, of all things!). No tinned kitty food for her! I've tried her on vet stuff (when she had trouble with urinary crystals), cheap stuff, expensive stuff, home-cooked stuff: No Go!  She delicately sniffs, then turns her nose up at  it all. A bit frustrating, since she's the one with the potential U.T. issues...

Levi, however, will eat nearly anything, if it holds still long enough, though he takes no pleasure in dry kibble. It becomes somewhat more acceptable if its dampened, however.
(I feed my cats Fromm: Surf 'n Turf - one of the few kibbles Roxy finds acceptable. Levi seems to prefer Fromm: Chicken a la Veg.  Canned food ranges from Almo Nature 100% natural salmon & chicken in broth (a favourite); Carlyle Just Tuna for cats; and yes, even one wee tin of Fancy Feast.  Now, understand, I'm not promoting any of these foods or brands, just sharing what I feed my cats.

Here's a couple of photos of Levi's new family:
