Unseasoned is of course much better than spicey. Cooked chicken can be
dangerous if it has bones in it. The bones become soft and can choke
the cat or even perforate her intestines. Same goes for cooked fish
with bones in it.

The thing is though, this is a cat and not a human...
You are teaching her unwanted behaviour ;-) Unless you want her to
keep begging for it of course.

Nice, wish mine were like that :-)

You could try various brands, you might find some she likes... Dry
food is better for her teeth too, keeps 'em clean. I give mine both,
dry food is always available and I give 'em wet food every other day
or so.

It's like with kids, if it was up to them they would eat nothing but
chocolate and candy... But parents (humans in this case) know better.

Good of you to adopt her BTW :-)

I've often wondered why a cat can be so picky about what it eats. I have a
theory about it. As you maybe aware a cats digestive system isn't all that
efficient as compared to allot of critters. Cats more then most critter seem
to really need allot of protean in their food. You may have noticed that you
can not feed a cat dog food! The reason is that cats need a diet with allot
more protean. One interesting thing that proves my point is that dogs will
often eat cat fecal material.

Now this may seem gross at first but you have to understand that dogs have
all their brains in their nose! We like to call dogs NoseBrains. Dogs really
don't taste much but their nose picks up the fact that cats fecal material
is just loaded with protean and other undigested stuff. To a dog cats poo is
food!

What is probably happening is that your cat is looking for something
specific in its food. Your cat may have difficulty digesting something in
the food it needs. The result is that the cat is looking for more of that
material in its food. My cat will only eat certain types of food! There have
been times when my cat will eat a type and brand of food for years then
suddenly he will not eat it any more. Interestingly enough he will not eat
chicken or fish or anything else I may be eating. He always wants to taste
but in the end my cat attempts to burry what ever it was I gave it.

I know that when my cat decides that he's not going to eat something he will
not under any circumstances eat it. The cat will go to the point where it
will starve to death. I usually have to try a number of different brands of
food before I find on he will eat. Once I locate the proper food he will eat
the same food for years. If I switch the food back again he will not eat it.

I've been told that Tuna fish is a really bad idea. The taste and smell of
it seems to have a tendency to overwhelm the cats sensory system. They kind
of get hooked on tuna while at the same time not getting what they need
nutritionally. This is what my vet told me one time.

Just thought you might find this interesting!

Jeez, I'm sorry to hear about your alernator.  Did it suffer long?  What
kind of vet did you take it to?

[Sorry, I just couldn't resist]
