I have cats. We typically buy fish or chicken, this is alls i seem to see. We are told cats love mice, so why cant we buy mouse flavour cat food?

There was an interview with a food scientist at a pet food company where this question was asked. Their reply suggested that they had experimented with mouse-flavour cat food in their testing lab, but discovered that cats don’t actually like the taste of mice compared to the meat of larger beasts humans get for them.
