Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Have you ever seen a cat chasing a liver?

At the San Francisco Zoo, they have people flavored cat food.

Then people would figure out that the rat poison in their dead cats food was just a bi-product of rat collection process. Not some Chinese conspiracy to kill American cats.

Mouse-flavoured food = hot dogs

if you are what you eat.... then hot dogs taste like little boys.

Since pet food is generally geared to appeal to owners first and the pets second, This simply means owners find mouse flavor food unappealing.

Do cats really like to eat mice or do they really like to chase and kill mice? Cats don't seem too discriminating in what they will hunt. Anything small enough that moves is fair game. Kind of ironic considering how picky they can be with cat food.

And Indian. Which was apparently too spicy.

They really like to chase and kill mice. And birds. And any other small moving objects. So don't wiggle your toes.

This is true. Our cat has killed a few mice. But has never made an attempt to eat one. I'm not sure if that's because they don't taste good, or they just need to keep the carcass as a trophy.
