A: If your cat won't eat fish-flavored cat food, maybe those fish fingers are too cold for your finicky cat’s taste. Almost as much as taste and smell, cats’ food preferences depend on other factors — such as freshness, texture, even size and sha… more ›

Is it true that wet cat food can cause their teeth to stain? My cat likes wet food and dry food but I want to give her what is best for her!
