I decided to get a variety case of EVO’s canned cat food that has duck, turkey/chicken, venison and beef. Maybe it’s my imagination, but kitty seems to like the beef and venison better than the others - which are what I’ve given her in the past. Actually I have a feeder full of dry cat food and she “tells” me when she wants the other kind.
I had read in this Pop. Sci. article that dogs and cats aren’t really that concerned with variety and tend to have very specific tastes that correspond to organ meats since they are most nutrient dense. But I figured I would get the variety pack anyway and I still need to experiment, but she does seem to have a preference.
We (my ex, who’s cat this is and me) think she is probably part calico/persian and part Maine Coon since she weighs in at around 14-16lbs but is not fat, maybe just a little bloated because of excessive grooming (for which I give her daily hairball treatments) with a slight paunch.
I figured I toss this out to the other cat folks to see what you thought.
I’ve tried a lot of different flavor cat foods over the years and no matter what I find - my cats always prefer chicken. Boring little fuzzballs.
They don’t mind duck, but won’t clean their plates with it. They refused pheasant and rabbit the one time I found a food with those flavors, they refuse most fish flavors - except fancy feast salmon pate they will DEVOUR. Unlike your cats they won’t touch liver flavors or other “organ” meat flavors.
I’ve often wondered if cats prefer the food flavors they were originally started on when young - and in my house back in the day it was almost always chicken because that’s all I could find. Now you’ve got me curious, too.
Thanks FP and Zyada: pretty kitty. 
I think my girls would like to try raccoon. There is a family with 2 babies under our shed. Mama brings them out in the middle of the day.
Both girls wait on the window sill from about 10:00AM until the come out. One girl chatters at them, making the raccoon babies look up. This causes the girls to run away, like, well, little girls.
