Only wet food he\u2019ll reliably eat is Friskies\u2019 Beef Bits in Gravy, and I guess that works so I\u2019ve got a big supply of it on hand, but I\u2019m still trying to test out other kinds for variety.</p><p>Out of I guess the same vanity that leads people to feed their cat Fancy Feast or vegan grains, a notion of their gustatory satisfaction as an extension of mine.</p><p>Anyway so as this goes on I\u2019ve been sampling the varieties, obviously, and they <i>do</i> taste like they\u2019re labelled - the flavor profiles aren\u2019t in perfect balance, but all the right notes are there. They taste like that for maybe 1.2 seconds, and then they all go to this weird metallic aftertaste, the only thing I\u2019ve ever tasted like it is \u201cfoxy\u201d, the flavor note of wine made from American <i>labrusca</i> grapes (like a particularly savory rock).</p><p>I\u2019m guessing maybe it\u2019s a particulary evaporative, quick-dissipating flavoring \u2018cause the main point is to communicate the flavor to the pet owner\u2019s nose while they\u2019re serving it?<br/></p>"}
