Nikki doesn't eat either tuna or sardines. Even Frank got a bit tired of
both, because I used to mix his meds in either tuna or sardines, so he ate
them twice a day for a long period of time.

If there's one thing I've learned about cats, it's that there's just
understanding them - perhaps because they don't want the hoomins to
catch on to what they really think. Just take my two girls concerning
people food - which they get very little of.

Sammy will taste anything I'm eating that I let her, and enjoys it
only when she can steal a bite. I get her own plate and give her
something she really seems to like, she just turns up her nose.

Little Bit has never shown any interest in hoomin food when I'm
eating. She won't even lick a plate when I'm done, except for the
leftover milk after cereal.

But, once Sammy has found something good on my plate, gotten a plate
of her own, and turned her nose up at it, Little Bit will clean
Sammy's plate.

Then, there's Rocky and treats. The girls devour all the Pounce treats
I give them - Rocky won't taste them. Course, he may come around. This
time last year he'd never been on a lap or played, and now he does
both.

Persia won't eat tuna.  Go figure.

My cats won't eat people food, normally.  However, they will go for tuna.

Most of the cats I given sardines to refused to eat them - canned
mackerel too.  I think I know one (out of maybe 50 that I have known)
that won't eat canned human grade tuna (chunk light in water) I
haven't tried him with solid pack white tuna which every one of the
others that I know about will drop the chunk light in favor of.

They were probably too salty!  I don't imagine a cat would be too
thrilled with pickled herring, either - even the kind in sour cream.
Also, some cats do not particularly LIKE fish, while others won't eat
much else but.

(NOTE:  I expect any number of replies telling me how much somone's
particular cats adore pickled herring - one can never generalize about
our feline friends.)

Amber really goes for the water from the tuna; but won't eat the tuna.
None of the cats care much for fishy cat food but will eat some fish
off my plate.

Vino never used to eat the canned tuna, but suddenly started to a few months
ago.  I've never given him sardines because Dennis won't let me buy any
sardines.  Ever since he got food poisoning from a can of sardines, even the
sight of a can makes him nauseous.  Vino really likes the dark greyish brown
fish fat from the bottom of a poached fish filet.  I usually scrape off the
fatty part after it's cooked and Vino gobbles it up.
