I've tried a variety of different canned foods in assorted flavours and unfortunately it's pretty obvious that Whimsy prefers seafood over anything else. I guess I should be grateful that she happily downs the Avoderm Select Cuts seafood cans (her current favourite) instead of insisting on something worse!

I've also unsuccessfully tried introducing her to raw and cooked chicken and other meats -- I'm not sure she even recognizes any of that as food. Leave an unseasoned raw salmon fillet unattended on a cutting board, on the other hand, and she's up on the counter in a flash trying to nibble on it! She'll even lick the paper packet it came in.

Thanks surgarcatmom! I'll start mixing other varieties into her seafood favourites -- as long as it smells overwhelmingly fishy, she's likely to scarf it down!
