No, it happens sometimes. My cats change their food preferences all the time. One day, they just won't eat something that I've been feeding them for years. Usually, if I stop feeding it to them for a long time (months and months) they'll start eating it again. It can be really annoying -- I always wish I could just ask them what they want to eat, so I wouldn't end up wasting food.

Ideally, if you have a finicky cat, the best thing to do is to buy a couple of different flavors of each different brand of cat food, whenever you go shopping for it. That way, the cat/s will have as much variety as possible, and they won't get a chance to get bored with any particular flavor/brand.

This can be problematic, however, as you usually get a discount when you buy cat food by the case: you know, 24 cans of the same brand. Luckily, I go to a neighborhood pet supply store, and they give me the case price anyway -- I just pick any 24 cans and they charge me for a case.

If you really want the discount that comes from buying by the case, then you could try alternating which brand you buy cases of.

I would also recommend Innova/Eva dry food to supplement a wet food diet. Too much wet food can cause weight problems, as well as teeth, gum, and breath problems. Dental bills for cats can be hundreds and hundreds of dollars at a time. It can add up to thousands of dollars over a single cat's lifetime! And most cats just love Innova/Evo dry food. That is one food my cats never get tired of!
