After going to the Texas Roadhouse steak restaurant, Lis and I had a couple ounces of medium-rare steak left over. So we cut it up into cat-bite-sized pieces and brought it home.

We just put it into the cats' dishes, and gave it to them. They looked at it, sniffed it, walked around and traded dishes to sniff at the OTHER cat's dish, looked up at us quizzically. They went back and forth sniffing each dish and looking at us in a confused manner.

Then Nora made a "burying" motion with her front paw and walked away.

. . . yeah. No steak for our cats, I guess.

Steak may just not be the correct texture for them. And yeah, they may not have dug the marinade either. As for beef cat food, both of mine like it, so it obviously depends on the kitty. I do find it amusing that there *is* beef cat food. I said to my friend the other day it was funny because when the heck is the average domestic feline going to take down a cow? Ha, or a turkey for that matter, but their cat food is made of that too.

I've encountered people who go to butchers and buy hearts and kidneys for their cats, (even lungs with one cat!) because they love eating the organs and it's good for them. (Hence why they're in cat food, I assume.)

When I was a child I couldn't figure out why cat food wasn't just made of ground up mice. ;^p

Actually, there is a school of thought that suggests that "ground-up mouse catfood" WOULD be the healthiest. But it's not cost-effective.
