Dry cat food that your cat doesn't like

Looking for a lousy dry cat food to free feed my two when the cat sitter is unavailable. My previous two had a flavor that they would eat, but weren’t fond of, so it was ideal. These two, especially Chubby, will eat anything.

My cats think the Natural Balance Fat Cat food is shit. They turn over the bowl and walk away.

Any over the counter urinary tract health food, literally any of them. Got some when my Maine Coon was struggling with a major UTI (he was also on vet prescribed meds) and dude went from already 18 pounds (usually 23) to 13 pounds in a month and a half. Between feeling like crap and haaaaaaaating the food, he wasn’t eating enough, plus it was low-cal.

I can tell you what not to buy - I have yet to find a cat that does not love Purina One Hairball formula.
No idea why it is so good, but even my fussiest barn cat loves it.

Whatever they loved in a 3lb bag, the second I opened the 15lb bag.

hahahaha this times 100

I can free feed Purina One Sensitive Stomach Turkey dry food and have zero fatties. I think it’s claimed “sensitive stomach” works because they only mediocrely like it, not love it and they don’t gorge themselves into barfing lol

Thanks for the suggestions! If only cat food came in sample sizes…

@trubandloki - their usual is Purina Indoor Hairball - at least it’s relatively low cal.

mine eat as if they like it-then I buy another bag-nope nope nope don’t like that at all. :rage: Right now, I feel like I am going to force feed them. If they ate it last week, why not now? And cat food isn’t cheap. I am just buying small bags because I hate leftover cat food.

I have one like that with with wet food. There is no rhyme or reason to her whims. One day she loves fish, the next day she hates it. Some days I put half a can in the frig because the Princess literally turns her nose up & leaves, only to have her wolf it down cold 12 hours later.

However, I have yet to find a dry food that they hate. I did just request coupons from Natural Balance. This will be great - I’m returning this cat food because my cats like it. :laughing:
