I don’t think it’s about choice of food so much as it is variety. They can catch mice, lizards, birds, even insects in the wild, and each meal tastes different than the last. In the house, it’s often the same salty kibble all day every day. Or the same meat mush. I don’t think any creature would want that for literally their whole lives. It’s not even the same kind of bird or anything. Just a processed mass of homogenous food-flavored material.
Yeah that’s generally how I see it too. My cat gets dry from the automated machine, wet from me at night, and dried minnows as treats. She’s always stoked for the wet food and the minnows
I agree, which is why I always buy packs of 4 or 5 different tastes of cat foods. And give a different one everyday. The same dry kibble in the morning, but a different dinner every night. But we also buy different types of kibble every time.
