one of my cats was abandoned by the mother who was moving them and heard a loud noise and dumped him and did not return. after two hours, a concerned person who was watching could no longer wait for the mother cat to return, if she even planned to. umbilical cord still attached pretty well signified the kitten was born that same day. the kitten was bottle fed and hand raised. i guess he has no idea what he is suppose to like. i can't eat much of anything without him having to have a bite of it. esppecially sweets. hersheys chocolate bar, pecan pie, jelly filled donuts, mandarin oranges, chocolate chip cookies all have been consumed by this cat. when he would nose into my food, i would give him a small amount to show him what it was expecting him to think "yuk" and leave me to finish eating. i have since learned that this cat doesn't say "yuk" to much.

also, every cat i have ever had or taken care of preferred canned food over dry food. my previous group of cats (3 males, lived to be 19,17, and 16) all considered canned food as a treat. both cats i have now (female 6 yrs and male 8 months) will turn up their noses to canned food and eat only the dry food when both are available. if only canned food is given, i usually have to throw out the entire amount the next day. i have tried various brands to no avail. my other cats considered canned food a treat but these two cats consider it as a treat only when it's not served to them.
