They really do ask for it by name

brightrosefoxSo it has been established that my cats love Meow Mix best.
I had bought Friskies food in both dry and wet form, and they ate it up, especially the wet. Then I bought some pouches of Meow Mix wet food, the chicken kind, and the Meow Mix Indoor Formula dry food. I fed the cats the pouches and they went nuts until I ran out and started in with the remaining many cans and pouches of Friskies. I still had a bag of dry Friskies, and a bag of dry Meow Mix Indoor Formula, plus the Friskies that was still in the large feeder bowl. The bags of dry food were on the table that the feeder sits under. I was sitting here in the living room watching TV, when I heard a weird rustling noise coming from the closet area where we keep all the pet stuff. Tuesday had jumped up onto the table and was trying to rip open the bag of Meow Mix with her teeth -- she had ignored the Friskies completely. I chastised her like I would a child, and then, realizing that she was so insistent on Meow Mix Indoor Formula that she actually swatted at me and growled when I pulled her away, I took the bag and the feeder, poured the Meow Mix into the feeder tube over what was left of the Friskies, and set it back in the closet. Tuesday and Puff attacked it as one unit. It was funny to watch.
I have tried many brands -- generic grocery store names, organic foods, classic brands like Purina -- but this is the first time the cats, especially Tuesday who barely eats much at all, really took a liking to a particular brand.
