I was just checking out Fussie cat on Chewy.  Other than tapioca starch the ingredients look good and its much cheaper than other shredded chicken options likeTiki cats and even Weruva by a little bit.  The chicken/duck and chicken/egg sound good.  I think I'm going to try a case and hopefully mine like it. 
A case? Shouldn't you try a few cans first to see if they'll eat it?

My Fussie girl loved the tuna/prawns (carageenan) and hated chicken/anchovies (no carageenan). I am thinking she likes her surf and turf separate. She is used to chicken plain by Tiki. I am still going to order 24 cans of tuna/prawns for $19.99 at chewy, which is an excellent price for human grade food. It will give us another source of protein. And of course my big boy ate up what she did not want. So I did not pay for the food and nothing was wasted, it was a good day, thank you Fussie cat for the samples. I highly recommend them to all of you out there with fish loving cats.
Does it say fit for human consumption?
what is called carageenan, or however it's spelt? Is it bad for cats and how do you know it's in their food!?

You are extremely lucky. Lilith and Sophie have actually started eating their rotation foods again. I have to sprinkle them with crushed freeze dried chicken and today I tried the Fortiflora. Sophie liked it. Lilith did eat some breakfast but only after I added the chicken breast. My order from PetFoodDirect gets here today. I got a mix of frozen raw and freeze dried. I got both Primal and Stella & Chewy's. Fingers crossed that they like it. I'm not too worried about the freeze dried since they have been eating it already. I am hoping that they love the frozen raw.

DRY FOOD = KITTY CRACK  !    It's the rendered stuff that they pour on the dry food at the end of processing, it smells sooo good to the kitties (dogs too)  The flavor enhancer also turns rancid within about 2 weeks - and who knows how long the food was around before it arrived at the retailer!

Maybe my reply was on the wrong thread.  Sorry. The free samples sound like a great way to try all the foods without having to spend so much to find that pet doesn't like it. Once again, my apologies.

I called Primal yesterday. The man I spoke to was very nice and said that they would take the retailers who are closed or no longer carry their foods off the site. He asked it I was able to find Primal in my area and I said that I was not but ordered some frozen and some freeze dried from PetFoodDirect. I also told him about how picky the diva sisters are and he gave me some tips on transitioning them (all of which I got here as well. :lol3: ). He said that if they were reluctant or flat out refused to eat it to call him back and he'd try to help me more and if after that, if they still won't eat it, he'd take it back. :clap:

I think they will eat it. I just think that they are getting burned out on canned. They just want meat. I grilled a plain lamb chop last night and shared it with them. Lilith is never happier than when she's eating bits of meat from my plate. It was medium rare and she was in heaven :lol3:   Sophie liked it too but she's not as enthusiastic as her sister is. Henry got some, too as a topper to his dinner and he gobbled it up. The dog will eat anything so she was in heaven with Lilith. I did get them to eat a can of Iams kitten food each last night after topping it with a crumbled Pure Bite so that's a good thing. 
How did they like Merrick Pate?
