Anyone else have cats that are picky about meat that's not from the grocery store?

I have three cats, they all eat Viva. I also buy meaty bones and chicken necks from Hare Today, and they all love the rabbit from there. But recently I bought the chicken pieces from Hare Today, and only one of my cats will eat it! None of them have any issues with store-bought chicken, they actually will appear from nowhere just to have a little niblet of thigh or breast when I'm preparing it. But the chicken from Hare Today? My two girls are suspicious of it. The boy has no problem with it, he goes around to eat everyone's abandoned chicken scraps. But I find it so strange that my chicken-loving cat won't even touch the chicken from Hare Today. It doesn't smell bad, it smells like regular chicken! She'll eat the chicken necks and duck necks from Hare Today, but these pieces… I wonder if it's because chicken from the store has been more processed and "cleaned", and she's just used to that?

Enjoying some outdoor time

Don't worry, all of my cats are supervised in the backyard! He actually listens pretty good, and he comes when he's called.

Lydia often looks like a little cartoon kitty

And her eyes always look like they're glowing in pictures! They're so yellow and round. 🌕

Starting over

The cats loved when it was in the plastic tub for a week. They kept flinging water everywhere and at each other. 😹

Pumpkin 🧡🖤

She's my neighbours' cat, but I love seeing her little face. Pumpkin is a shy girly, so I use a soft voice and walk slowly when she's on the wall.

Lydia is my backyard buddy

My other two cats don't get the same privileges that she does. As I'm doing gardening in the backyard, Lydia just hangs out and enjoys her chill time. The other two cats are too naughty, they only get to come out when two people can herd them around.

What a disaster 😭

I had my monstera outside, which was fine up until yesterday when it hit 90+ degrees outside. The newest leaf is still tender and it was starting to burn, so I decided to bring it inside. I have three cats, only one of them is a plant terrorizer. Actually, he's a dirt diggler. He mainly targets the dirt which is fine, but sometimes he'll rip out the whole plant if it's small enough. He dug in the monstera dirt last night, I cleaned it up, he went to sleep after his midnight snack. I woke up this morning to find the whole plant had fallen over from his enthusiastic digging. The tender new leaf now has a ripped piece. It just keeps getting worse with this stupid plant. I rescued it a few years ago from a free pile when someone was moving out. I'm tired of it being so top heavy, so I was thinking of cutting it and starting over. Looking at it inside makes me wish I had just left it outside in a different spot. I only brought it in because I'm struggling to find a decent spot in the yard/around the outside of the house that doesn't get full sun. 🫩 Also, the pot looks too small now after it being in there for about three years and that also makes me mad lol

Jasper 💕

It's hot outside, but inside the AC and ceiling fans are on. He's always melting out of the doughnut bed no matter what temperature it is. 🍩
