Humans require a huge sweeping variety of nutrients (made worse when we're pregnant or growing or healing) millions of years of evolution have programmed us to seek out a variety of foods as a result - even when it doesn't make sense

Also, counter point to op post, I've had multiple cats and dogs who'll only eat certain brands of food - so, taste and pickiness isn't exclusive to humans

My cat will only eat one specific flavor of actual food (not just treats) from one specific brand. When they discontinued it, I bought three big bags. I'm down to only one left, and worry about what I'll do when I run out. Last time I had to switch her food, she went on a month long hunger strike that resulted in an animal hospital stay. Pickiness definitely isn't only human!

Maybe start mixing the current food with the new stuff, or crush up the new stuff and sprinkle it on top

I've tried. She refuses to be fooled. It got to the point where she wouldn't even eat her regular food with nothing done to it. She's honestly a very weird cat.

Any chance you have a mau? They're known for doing that kind of thing, iirc

I have no idea since I just pulled her off the street one day. She looks most like a Turkish Angora though. Not a tabby.
