WeruvaCats in The Kitchen, Fowl Ball with Chicken & Turkey Au Jus Cat Food, 3.2oz Can (Pack of 24)

Note: dated December 6, 2015: My kitty's appetite has returned after over 2 months of dealing with UTI treatment, 2 heat episodes, etc & for a few days already in full force. She CLEANS her plate with this, with I & Love & You & Tiki Salmon & Chicken & even cleaned her plate this morning with Platefulls Chicken & Salmon--the morsels from the pouches almost NEVER get 100% eaten! I am totally getting relieved & happy as she was getting too skinny & I was getting worried. Her pee pee has gone back to normal & you can depend on a good pee pee from this product. Less dependable for a good pee pee is I & Love & You, but this is a terrific source of needed moisture--for those who are leaving behind the extremely unhealthy dry cat food & have had urinary tract issues with your cat. (You also get a heaping portion of turkey/chicken of course!) She licked clean her plate with the Tiki Salmon & Chicken with the same results. This can is slightly larger: 3.2 oz, therefore slightly more moisture & nourishment. My kitty loves both this Turkey & Chicken mix & since this can is 3.2 oz, it is among the more generous cans & therefore your kitty gets lots of extra nourishment & badly needed moisture.This is a simple recipe of thinly cat-friendly shredded chicken/turkey in a broth that holds together with some minor gum filler but never carrageenan. It gives nourishment & needed moisture to your cat's diet. It smells great, my kitty ate it & it can be put back into the frig in a covered container for later & the aroma of the fresh chicken/turkey remains the same. It is quality meat & again my only complaint is not using enough dark meat which is more indicated for cats. Dark meat adds flavor, it adds moisture & some added fat. This food does not say "for all life stages" which is an important characteristic to look for in quality cat food. That is one tiny point, but it is simple, decent, fresh & adds moisture. On the plus side, there are fewer carbs than in other foods & carbs are not necessary good for cats. There are always +'s & -'s in just about every food, however.NO GRAIN, NO GMO, NO STARCH (STARCHES ARE BAD FOR CATS) & NO CARRAGEENAN!

My kitty leaves less in her plate with Fowl Ball than with the Chicken Frick A Zee. I have to wait for some time to pass to see which one she really prefers, but it seems to be this one! I believe this mix will be continued--it is lean & I, therefore can afford to alternate with some richer foods. This food is made in Thailand, but I heard they are quite strict with their quality procedures for cat/dog food.

The bottom line as far as having stopped giving it to our kitty was that he stopped eating it. But it also had a layer of oil on top, and in fact “oil” , not organic of course, and definitely one of the omega 9s or 6s, not the healthy kind of oil, which was actually listed on the can’s ingredients I think 2nd or 3rd, which is unusual for cat food to have added oil. kind of looked gross to me. But it wasn’t for me lol. Anyway, he loved it the first few or several times, then threw it up and then wouldn’t eat it anymore. So I’m left with it. It’s a personal thing of course! If he’d loved it, I’d still give it to him, because we’re always desperate to find a food they like that is also more healthy than Friskies wheat and corn etc fillers for example.BTW, I finally found a raw-food company that makes pet food with meat, organs and bones, that is near by me (808 Raw Food) and costs about the same per month as these expensive brands of canned food I was buying (that he wouldn’t eat consistently. He continued to love Shreds by Friskies 🤦🏼‍♀️ ). I was overjoyed when I discovered that it was in my own back yard! (Hawaii in case you’re here). I add a taurine etc. supplement that I buy from Hare Today, and we’re all set! Our kitty loves it and has started losing weight slowly. He seems so content now and goes longer between meals.

First off, as far as an affordable healthy cat food option, Weruva is one of the best. Before people think "what does he mean affordable", that's not the operative word here. Healthy is. Most of the cheap brands have low digestibility, fillers such as vegetables, grains or other junk, and have a high preservative content. Weruva is one of the few that is still affordable without the junk.My furballs mostly eat a raw diet, homemade once every three months and frozen. It is perhaps the healthiest diet I have ever fed a cat. I stretch their food to three months by providing "treat meals" which are high quality we food (NEVER NEVER NEVER feed your cats dry food. I really mean NEVER - it's tantamount to abuse). So I tried Life's Abundance, but one of the furballs refuses to eat anything that smells too much of fish. I tried Ziwi Peak but I am not rich enough to sustain that. Weruva has non-fish options that are healthy so that is my recommendation.If you can't make your cats food, go with the highest quality wet food you can find. If you can't afford that, then go with the highest quality wet food that you can afford. If you can't afford wet food, then you shouldn't bring a cat into your home.One last note on all the comments about fish. Think about what you are saying for just a couple minutes. How often is a cat in the wild eating fish? Not that often. Some cats (not all) like the scent. Other cats, like my furball the younger (not his real name), hate the smell of fish and actually gets a case of the squirts if he eats some of the fish based treats. What I am getting at is that fish is not a part of most cat's diets. Small rodents, small birds, mid-size mammals, these are what cats eat in the wild. This is what you should be feeding your cats. If you want to know more, then do your research. Your cats will adapt to whatever you put in front of them, especially if you don't give in and just give them what they "like".

A little bit pricey
