It's been about three months since I adopted may pair of male kittens (they're both 1yo now) , and after much trial and error, I've finally got a sense for their tastes in quality canned food.  Naturally, both of them have completely different tastes to keep things complicated.  Spidey is a pate guy and likes a bunch of non-fish varieties (make it soupy, please).  That's easy enough.  Bugsey, though, is a texture guy -- ever since he got a taste of the shredded chicken-breast types (i.e. Weruva, Tiki, Soulistic). He's now all about that texture and shuns any other style.  I'm wondering if there are brands that do the same shredded-meat style with something other than chicken or fish.  I'd like to keep mixing up the protein sources, but it seems like that style is pretty much limited to either chicken, fish or a mix of the two.

So far, I've only found the Weruva types (Peking Ducken, 9 Liver, Cat Wok and Steak Frites) that add beef, duck or liver.  It's not a bad rotation with some Tiki and Soulistic and a fishy one thrown in once a week, but looking for more suggestions.

 (I know there was a "shredded" thread a couple years ago, but didn't seem to focus just on this question)

Merrick makes Thanksgiving Day Dinner and Turducken, which are both grain free and shredded.  I would guess the main protein is turkey
.  They've got some others too, mainly chicken, I think, if you want to add in another BRAND, just in case of a recall, etc.

They also have Cowboy Cookout that is beef. Though not truely shredded, it is nuggety.
