Sadly, a moot point now.

I will say, just as an FYI, not all cats like tuna. When Persia first
found me the vet wanted me to pill her in case she had worms. He
suggested I put the (rather small) pill in water packed tuna. She
took one sniff and looked at me like I was crazy. She does NOT like
tuna. Not even cat-food tuna.

Actually, I don't think one can truthfully say ANYTHING beginning "All
cats"! I've had cats that liked all sorts of unlikely foods (including
popcorn and potato chips). Some cats must be forcibly restrained from
sharing your dinner (while you're still eating it), others will not even
TOUCH "people" food.

Persia loves cheese nips (crackers). And potato chips/crisps. She's
not supposed to have any (I try very hard not to give her "people" food)
yet she begs and begs. I sort of feel guilty if I have an occasional
snack around her. She does recognize the sound of that bag opening!

She doesn't care for seafood, which is a good thing since I love it and
often cook it for myself.

My mantra has been that if anyone starts a sentence with "all cats ...",
they probably haven't known many cats.

I've only been owned by Persia, but I know you can't say "all cats". I
quickly learned there is no such thing as rules that apply to all cats.

Pit2nya likes tuna 'juice', the liquid in the can of tuna, but will
leave all tuna pieces or flakes...go know!.

Even one cat will change it's mind sometimes.

That is so true. We once had a cat that hated raisins. My son wanted
to demonstrate this to a friend, so he offered that cat a raisin.
Naturally, the cat ate it.

Well hey, when you're trying to prove a point the cat will do the exact
opposite just to make you look foolish. I'm sure they do it on purpose.

I didn't realize until recently Persia likes cooked cabbage. I was
clutzy and dropped a piece on the floor. She scarfed it right up. If I
purposely gave her a piece of cabbage she'd probably ignore it now.

There's also the game part of it. I bring home an assortment of food
cans. We try them out. Oh, we all like this one! Fine, I'll buy a
case. Guess what.
