I can't find the ingredients listed online. Can anyone tell me about Authority canned food?

As some of you know, I've had problems the last couple months with Riley being finicky about his wet food. He has almost completely stopped eating his Merricks and will often turn down his Evo.
He is eating some Wellness and a little Solid Gold tuna. I'm trying to find some other brands to rotate, hoping he will eat his Merrick and Evo again in the future.

I have tried dozens which he has turned down, but one I haven't tried is Authority. Can anyone tell me if its a decent food? What other foods would you compare it to in quality? Chicken soup maybe?

Not sure about chicken liver as a first ingredient....

sharky??

p.s. I know its not a premium food, but I'm looking for something I can add in rotation as an "occasional" can, no more than once a week, probably less.

Have you tried Avoderm? I've never tried the cuts formulas but my oldest loves the chicken formula (pate style). He's not very picky though because he will eat almost all of the premium brands. Surprisingly he won't touch Merrick though.

Next to the World's Largest 6-pack
I just bought some of the Adult Chicken Pate (classic loaf) and Adult Turkey Pate. Stimpy also likes California Natural, but with my student's budget I had to cut back.
Authority is a good alternative for us. Stimpy eats it and doesn't have problems digesting it.

FWIW- I stay away from their "indoor" formula because of the cellulose in the ingredient list. That ingredient makes Stimpy barf every time.
We don't use the hairball formula either. I just buy the adult formula, classic loaf style.

I have tried Avoderm and every other brand I can find
That is why I'm going to some of the lesser brands like Chicken Soup (he had some this morning and seemed to like it), Authority.

Every so often I try him on a can of something he previously turned down, just in case his taste has changed. He wouldn't use to eat the Wellness, but will now eat a couple of the fish flavors.

He eats Cal. Nat. dry but won't touch any of the wet flavors. I'll get some Authority today and see how it goes.

Thanks!

There's no place like home
I rotate Authority into Stumpy's wet food mix and he really likes that change. He is normally a Wellness cat - he wouldn't touch California Natural, Avoderm, and a lot of others. I'm of the opinion right now that while not all foods are great, as long as they are good and they like them, give them the variety.

i use the lamb & rice formula of authority when i can't get to the feed store in time to get chicken soup. [it closes much earlier than Petsmart!] anyway, i chose the lamb/rice formula because it didn't have fish in it [since Chip has had crystals in the past] & my wet eaters seem to like it just as well as the chicken soup. it's not the indoor formula, just regular.
