Fancy Feast was the only canned food I ever gave my cats. She would eat any flavor, but the worse it smelled (like the fishy ones, salmon, tuna, whitefish, etc.), the more she liked it. She also liked the ones with gravy. But her absolute favorite was chicken hearts and liver. I know it was her favorite because the only time she licked the bowl completely clean was when I gave her chicken hearts and liver.

Holly has the audacity to be finicky. She doesn't like beef or fish or chicken hearts and liver or the ones with gravy. She'll sniff at them and walk away. The only kind she likes are the ones with cheese.

Martini will eat any flavor. She's not as fussy as Holly.

I haven't given them any wet food the past few years because they're on a veterinary diet. They're on a veterinary diet because my vet still has a couple of kids I haven't put through college yet.
