Effectively, you can eat everything a cat eats. It might not exactly be haute cuisine but there's nothing an omnivore couldn't digest but a carnivore could. Cats are much more selective with their diet than humans - and for good reasons.
Someone I knew who's anosmic would get their cat to smell food for them, and if the cat turned away would discard it.
What if the cat just doesn't want to eat?
Sounds like a good idea. Cats have some extra sensoric mechanisms for smelling that humans don't, so even without such a condition you're better off trusting your cat's judgement when it comes to meat quality.
