Variety is the spice of life. For domestic cats I believe this saying is very applicable concerning their food. My experience tells me that cats can get bored with one sort of food and if they have “gone off” one brand/type of food, withholding that for a while and reintroducing it pays dividends.
How concerned are cat guardians are about food variety? It is easy to stock a wide range. I am sure that individual cats have individual tastes and some might be content sticking to a fairly narrow range of foods. However, I don’t believe it is good enough to buy one bag of dry cat food and rely on that in perpetuity.
If I add in the odd human food treat I can probably say that my cat eats about 20 different types of cat food. It is apportioned: 85% high quality wet in pouches, 10% dry for grazing and 5% human food treats. The last one could be 10% some days.
Do you know your cat’s favorite cat food? If you do, how many sorts of cat food did you try before deciding? If you know his favorite cat food do you know when he last ate it?
I know I am asking slightly impertinent questions but it may help. When you do provide variety you have to keep tabs a little bit on what was served up when. J’ai un restaurant, chez moi.

That seems like quite a big reaction to a change in cat food. I don’t find that. It is interesting.
It wets my appetite it sounds so good! You have a nice mix of tastes and textures.
My cats eat very well.,canned mixed with dry,cooked chicken livers,gizzards-ground venison,lots of meat scraps.mackeral,salmon,sucker fish.I always have 2 varieties of canned and 3 of dry.yes i spend more on them than me.
That means little controlled diarrhea leading to the litter and vomiting sometimes.
Pt’s plop, plop, plop heading toward the box. Multiply that by about 20 and envision my face!
Does that mean pooping in the wrong place?
I also find that beef is the least popular although Charlie liked it. I think it is the strength of flavoring.
I don’t believe that photo 😉 . I am very impressed. My God I have not seen that before.
That said if you open my kitchen cupboards you’ll see wall to wall cat food and a tin of bake beans!
It is a cat restaurant.
