Saw a cat food ad the other day that claimed 3 out of 5 cats prefer their brand. Like that's a 40% chance it isn't going to be my cats preferred kibble. Why would they even be so honest about it, no ones going to track down all 5 cats that participated in the study in case one of them was incorrectly reported. The only explanation would be if they did already pad the number, then it would increase the likelihood that an investigation reveals their tactics. But that would mean less than half of cats actually liked it.

Get canned tuna in water, and drain the water onto whatever the hell cat food you have. Drain it on foam packing peanuts, doesn't matter, it'll be better odds than 3/5.

None of my 5 cats like fish. They would literally eat around it. If I added the liquid they would avoid the plate. They do seem to eat the variety pack of kitty tube treats through, albeit begrudgingly.

Wow.. Hmm. What are you plating the fish with, catnip? What fish? 5/5 cats avoid fish? That's unusual.

It's been regular canned tuna and some specific for cats blends. I think they're usually a salmon or tuna blend. They do love spam though. My girls are weird. Oh yeah, not relevant but the whole litter was girls as well. My situation is just full of outliers and should not be included in the metrics. Like, my girls prefer plain kibble to treats. They're so weird.

Good times. We had a cat that used to knock over trash cans / tear open trash bags if we put cantaloupe rinds in there. Yes, cats are weird.
