Those are breakfast and dinner for one day, dinner for the previous day (which I forgot to pick up) and standby dry food. And no, I didn't give him something else. Jake went from an abandoned cat who was thrilled to get the cheapest dry food available to a picky eater.
My feeling pretty much is "you don't have to eat it". If he doesn't like the food, it stays there. And surprise, surprise, surprise, some of it seems to magically disappear during the day/night. Must be the Catfood Fairy, stopping by for a snack.

Did this start after the move? We had a military cat (Meaning that his care givers were in the service). I do not use the term owner for no one really ever owns a cat. He would be off his feed for some time after each of our PCS, and it seemed to take longer the older he was.
He would also get this way when one of his cohorts days in the sun ended.
They are very interesting creatures.
Yes, I too am "staff" for a number of cats. The youngest at 4 months seem to be less picky, if they can eat it, they will. Even to invading my morning bowl of Cheerios with their little "box feet".
The oldest Cat will not eat anything that doesn't come with a kitty picture on the outside. She loves her gushy food and her Science Diet 'old kitty' dry but she will Not touch anything else no matter how much the kittens would swarm it.
She has been my best friend for years now and If she had a taste for veal or fillet I would gladly feed her that.
Shes just a 'cat food' cat and that's all.
As she reaches out to type on my keyboard.
She knows when I am chuckling about her, smart she is too.

I think it started after the other cats passed away and there was no longer any hint of competition for food.
