    Is there some reason we can't use нравиться in this case?

      Have you used the proper forms of the adjective, noun and the verb?

      The correct sentence should be "Рыжему (dative) коту (dative) нравится (3rd person sing.) есть рыбу"

        I was just wondering why DL showed two alternative answers, neither of which used нравиться. So, you're telling me that yes, нравиться can be used here as an alternative to любить?

            кот is a male cat, кошка is a female cat. кошке can be dative or prepositional case of кошка.
