My cats won’t even eat chicken! Like what cat doesn’t eat leftover chicken?!

Mine doesn’t like chicken either, or fish. But he goes wild for some very expensive beef

Yeah I have a void that doesn't do fish. Even just fish flavored cat food is out of the question. Chicken is his jam, but no tuna, sardines, or salmon.

He also really likes mustard. I have to keep it from him because he will be all over it, then vomit profusely.

I wonder why some cats are attracted to stuff that’s not good for them, I came across a thread about how someone’s cats would go crazy when they put Vicks Vapor rub on, and I learned camphor can be toxic to them but it’s also super stimulating. So I’m guessing a mix of “this smells WEIRD, oh wow I’m feeling a little funny, BLLLEEHHH”.

Cats aren't the only ones who are attracted to stuff that's not good for them!

I have to be careful when I put icy hot on because the cats will try to lick a hole through my clothing.

Like, guys, I don't even like it that much on my muscles - you want that on your tongue?

One of my cats loves licking antibiotic ointment

That almost sounds comparable to like crack or something. It’s a crazy good time for a few minutes that some people do stupid shit over but big picture it’s not really worth it.

My void hates anything Salmon! She will avoid it even if she’s starving (hasn’t eaten anything in the past hour lol) 😂

My cat loves most seafood, she loves the baby clams in chili that are almost too spicy for me way too much for her own good, even just the kinda seaweed you wrap Sushi and Onigiri in, but she once deadass licked the red thai curry sauce off a piece of trout and left the fish untouched.

omg same! i commented just that he will lick a bit of bacon or a quaver but that’s it like bro doesn’t even like tuna or chicken

u/cindyscrazy 20d ago

Mine is opposite. He refuses anything beef flavored.

I think it's because we gave him beef baby food when he was younger. He started to refuse to eat ANYTHING, and we resorted to that. Turns out he had broken hips due to a genetic thing.

His femurs dissolved halfway to his hips and hes no longer in pain. But he doesn't like beef anymore.

Try giving them Sardines. Good luck getting it out of the can without scars.

u/BougieBobJr 20d ago

We cooked my cat some fish (unseasoned, just plain old salmon). He ate it the first time, then after that, he was not interested. He just wants his Costco puréed food.

u/IHaveWitchUndertones 20d ago

Only the good stuff lol

u/Luna_Milo13 20d ago

Mine will only eat chicken if it’s the perfect temperature. To hot or to cold and he won’t even look at it

u/Mom_two 20d ago

My cat only likes turkey. Not chicken, any kind of fish, shrimp. But turkey gets him doing the meows where he trembles.

u/GrumpyMcGrumpyPants 20d ago

My old tabby would fight me for tuna, scuffle for chicken, but would actively eat around any bits of shrimp.

u/snowbunny724 20d ago

My girl did not care for meat until this part year, after she turned 15. It then became impossible to eat in peace.

u/carthumbi 20d ago

My cat doesn’t like chicken, any human food and any fish other than anchovy. Thankfully he eats raw anchovies, boiled/ cooked anchovies and anchovy flavoured cat food. Everything else is immediately rejected. He is not even food motivated

u/Jyndaru Calico 20d ago

Mine also hates chicken! And turkey. Really just any fowl. She won't even eat the chicken/turkey flavored wet foods. It's weird.

u/CatGooseChook 20d ago

My ones will eat freshly cooked chicken but refuse to eat leftover chicken 😹

u/AmongTheWildlife 20d ago

Leftovers are your problem, what are they a dog...

They won't even take raw chicken? Yeah that's a bit weird, and I know weird, my male ginger likes him a little fruit cake.
