Funnily enough, dog food has to be fit for human consumption. Now that tester has an awful job.

Which one? The one tasting the meat, or the one tasting the dry food?
The meat appears to be very similar to what you get in a fastfood shop, the dry food tastes more like dry bread. It is edible, which I can't say for catfood. Very fat, salty crap. Then again, the cat will eat anything

Show how much you know about cats!
Ours is a picky little sod: He won't touch Felix, he used to eat Whiskas (until I bought a load of it), he stopped eating Sheba for a few months, but it back on it now. He eats birds, rats - but not mice, he brings them home and eats the top half only - and loves "real meat". And Tesco cheap ham.
Generally, they will eat anything once. And then refuse to touch it when you buy it in bulk out of sheer relief at finding something he likes...

Do not feed the cat for a few days and let it lose its pickiness!

We tried that. "Eat it or starve!" and locked him in the house so he couldn't supplement his diet. Three days of sulky, p*ss*d off cat and untouched food later we relented.

it now. Yes, ditto. He's not touching the Sheba chicken and all the dry food is still there, so yes, acts a bit picky. Still, he will eat anything, from small animals from the garden, insulation-foam, raw paprika and anything that smells like food from the garbage-can, regardless of age or state.

I've heard large cats have an instinctive chase-kill-eat-sleep set of instructions. Perhaps yours has stronger cat instincts and needs the chase-kill-before-eat sequence. Ours will make a beeline for the foodball as soon as they recover from a play session. Try playing with them then immediately putting down the food.
Also, when our old cat started loosing interest in food, our vet told us that they won't eat something if they can't smell it. Told us to get the smelliest, stinkiest food we could find. Worked.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Also explains why he has to have the week-old half rotten herring from the trashcan

Well, then try Lutefisk. If this isn't smelly enough, then your cat and your vet is playing a joke on you.

Also treat biscuits for dogs - the ones used to train them - are pretty good. They taste like sugarless integral biscuits, which I kind of like.
The wet food usually found in large cheap cans smells like s*t and I never had the desire to taste it. The good stuff on the other hand tastes much better than some discount food for humans I bought.

I just hope the meat is cooked before tasting it.

I actually do that once in a while: Eat one or two of the cat treats while I feed them to the cats.
The missus thinks I'm nuts of course. But I figure: Hey, if they were harmful, would I want to feed them to my cats?
Some of them are totally edible and not bad at all. Others taste like sh*t. I try to avoid giving my cats those who taste like sh*t...

If I were her, I'd step out of the queue, to pick up a large bag of the 'nutritionally complete' My Dog food

I'm reminded of an old episode of Red Dwarf where this guy chooses to eat canned dog food instead of noodles when down to the last pieces of food. He really hated noodles. Probably the better choice then when it comes to nutrition.

If you can eat noodles, you can eat dog food. And viceversa. Basically if you can stand noodles you can stand anything short of Bear Grylls stuff.

Dunno why you sometimes use 'dog food' to name 'gin'.

ROTFLMAO! +5!
I needed a good joke today.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

What makes you think he was joking?
Will Rogers never met me.

I don't know that he was joking, but I prefer to think that my fellow CPians are too emotionally mature to play such pranks on strangers.
I could, of course, be wrong.
