My neighbors got this stuff for our cats when we were gone and the boys seem to really like it. The ingredients seem good too. Is this a good food? It's expensive though ($7 for a 12 pack and we'd have to feed them about a 12 pack a day) so if we fed it it'd be an occasional like one week a month thing for them.

It was shredded though just how Riggs likes it, Chaos doesn't really like it so shredded but he's tolerating it (which means he really likes it).

What are the ingredients? I've never been a big fan of Meow Mix.

Wow. I haven't paid any attention to grocery store brands in a long time, as it was always more of the same. I'll have to take a look next time I'm at the pet store.

it didn't list the ingredients on the website but I took a quick look on the tub today and I didn't see any by-products or gluten. I was amazed and even more amazed both my boys like it! Usually one will love something and the other will hate it.

the neighbors got the boys the chicken variety pack. It's got chicken, chicken and beef, and I think chicken and turkey. I didn't see it in any of those but will double check. I know my boys prefer chicken so I probably wouldn't venture into any other varieties.

I haven't seen this one yet at the stores here. I'll have to watch for it. It's so weird that the site gives the nutritional analysis, but not the ingredients. Is it as fish heavy as the normal Meow Mix tubs?

Okay I was a bit confused at first (need more coffee
). I now see that WHOLESOME GOODNESS is a new line by Meow Mix (at least new to me). The dry looks just as low-quality as their old dry, but the wet looks promising. I'll be on the lookout for this!

my boys both seem to like it. I will probably keep this in their lineup somewhere though.

Princess loves her Meow Mix Cluck a Doodle DOO but I have to put it in my little food proceesor with a little water to get it to a consistency that she likes. This is the only wet food she will eat so its worth the extra effort.
