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?

I've always wondered about this too.

Maybe that's why they like them so much, it's a rarity?

There's clearly something about fish that's really attractive for cats. Maybe it's the same thing that attracts humans (my guess is the smell is indicative of certain nutrients, but I'm just throwing crap at the wall).

Though big cats do swim, so maybe there's something in the genes from their big cat forbears?
