Weruva Cats in The Kitchen Fowl Ball Pet Food (24 Pack), 6 Oz,Adult

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! AND without the toxic supplement Menadione Sodium Bisulfite (source of Vitamin K)--(The Material Safety Data sheet on Menadione-sodium bisulfite states: “The substance is toxic.") Chicken Broth, Chicken*, Turkey, Locust Bean Gum, Sunflower Seed Oil, Guar Gum, Fish Oil, Xanthan Gum, Potassium Chloride, Choline Chloride, Taurine, Vitamin E Supplement, Zinc Sulfate, Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1), Nicotinic Acid (Vitamin B3), Calcium Pantothenate, Vitamin A Supplement, Potassium Iodide, Manganese Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Vitamin D3, Supplement, Riboflavin Supplement (Vitamin B2), Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, (Vitamin B6), Copper Sulfate, Folic Acid, Vitamin B12 Supplement *A combination of boneless, skinless, white breast and other cuts of chicken Edit: 11/25/15 It appears my kitty prefers (although it is too soon to tell for sure) chicken/turkey (Fowl Ball) rather than the Chicken Frick A Zee. 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.

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".

After adopting Wallace, I tried all sorts of wet food -- he had been given only dry food at the shelter and was not used to wet food -- and he finally started eating the Weruva Asian Fusion flavor and BFF Tuna Too Cool Recipe (in Aspic). So that's what he got. And he ate it like a fiend. I cut back on his dry food. He still acts like dried food -- I feed him Orijen -- is crack cocaine. I read that cats can get addicted to fish, and that a 100% fish diet is bad for cats, so I started to try to get him to eat chicken based foods. I mixed chicken and fish together and gradually increased the amount of chicken and decreased the amount of fish. The problem, I think, is not so much that he hates this food (and he does, trust me. He is not thrilled about eating like he once was. He seems kind of depressed, but so am I when I'm on a healthy food diet plan. But he really hates the texture most of all. He hates "strings" and "juice." If weruva made a pate style chicken food I think he'd be much happier. For now, to get him to eat it at all, I have had to purchase a small electric coffee grinder to grind the canned food into a slurry (Appetizing!) so he can lick it up. Please, Weruva, come up with an all fowl or rabbit pate style food. It is very healthy food, and he's done well on the entire Weruva line, so that's what the 3 stars are for. If your cat likes it straight from the can (and many do) then you are lucky.

I bought this for my two adult cats, they turned their noses up at it immediately. I adopted a very skinny cat from animal control...he ate it with gusto. Two weeks later he changed his mind, he won't eat it.

I’m have two cats that are not fussy. They love chicken and Turkey. I ordered this expensive pack of cans. They will not eat it. In fact they are repelled by it. I’m disappointed. They love the chicken w pumpkin kind from previous order.
