An ongoing list of the food Way (my cat) likes to eat or doesn't

I have four cats, they all have their preferences about food.

Dante eats his cat food and respectfully awaits to eat the leftovers that his sister leaves. If I wrongfully place the plate meant for his sister instead of his bowl in front of him, he will recoil with a confused face instead of trying to eat.

Matt eats his food fairly quickly, and then tries to steal from his sister. Even though he eats the same as the others, he is a little chubbier than them. He knows stealing is bad, and if I catch him going towards the others and call his name he will turn around and ask for pets as if he meant that all along.

Mika eats very slowly, prefers wet cat food, gets tired quickly of eating the same dry food flavor, always leaves leftover dry food, and needs encouragements pets to finish her food. She eats in a plate instead of a bowl because she prefers it, I'm not sure about the reason.

Wayne absolutely loves food. His food, the others food, my food. He has to eat confined in another room because he will try and succeed in stealing from others. He knows very well he shouldn't steal, he will try anyway. When I deem that Mika will not eat anymore of her food, I unlock the door for him. I say unlock and not open because he is faster than me and will use his paw like a little monkey to throw it open and reach the food.

When I bring something to my room that even just resembles food he will meow his distinctive meow reserved for begging, mostly begging for food. That is why I can't eat in my room. But I do want some snacks while studying, so I switched to only bringing fruit. The first time I brought fruit, he begged not knowing that is what it was, I showed it to him to make him understand that it was not food meant for him, and that's when I discovered he eats fruit too.

I gave up. Now I just make him try the fruit first so he knows if he likes it or not... I will keep here an ongoing list of his preferences.
