I bought them the duck, lamb and venison varieties.
Very expensive, very good stuff,  the idiot cats still prefer
the dry food.

What the f.ck?!

It is very common for cats to prefer dry food, especially if that is what
they have been used to.  I had to gradually acclimate Holly and Duffy to
canned (Wellness, Felidae, and Innova).  They objected strongly in the
beginning, and I had real guilt pangs about it.  However, now they love it,
and the change to a better diet is very noticeable in their beautiful coats.
I do still give them a small amount of Wellness dry every few days as a
"treat."

If that's not like cats.  My cars tire of some of the cans of Wellness.  I
mean like we are down to about two flavors- turkey  and turkey and turkey
and salmon.  Sometimes I give them some Fancy Feast so at least they can
have more variety.  After their canned food I give them some Wellness dry
food.  They never seem to get tired of that.

Of course I don't look busy,
I did it right the first time.

They are creatures of habit. Before plopping a new food down
you might have read up on how to introduce a new food.

Besides, how would you know what they eat? They are probably
killing mice, birds, etc. and could be having antifreeze on the rocks
for all you know.

My cats don't have a problem with new foods.  They just eventually seem to
get sick of all the foods except the Wellness dry food.
