Natures logic chicken was well received. The fussy one are it in two rounds instead of one sitting, but she ate it!
I was reading the ingredients for Natures Logic on Chewy and I noticed that taurine isn't listed.

Is that odd?

It's pretty unusual. Nature's Logic's idea is that they include enough ingredients (I think organ meat in the case of taurine) that they don't need to supplement. There may be a few other foods out there produced this way but not many, and even fewer if any who take it to this degree of zero supplements. Their foods do have enough taurine; otherwise their labeling as cat food would be in question.

FWIW unless something has changed very recently it's nearly impossible to get taurine supplement that isn't sourced in China. This goes for all foods that are proudly made in the US and all that. If you dig deep enough the taurine probably came from China, although the food company's direct source can be a US company which clouds the issue a bit. So, there can be an upside to not having to use it. Last I checked Nature's Logic was pretty forthcoming about their sources and processes. Although unless there was a change they do contract out the manufacturing (which they admit, unlike some others who are quiet about that).

Tuesday I received 2 cans of Red Barn Tricky Chicky and Peaches loves it. She usually does not clean her plate but this she cleaned it so well that it didn't even look like food had been on it.

I found a little shop not far from me that is going to start carrying Red Barn cat food next week.

Peaches didn't get sick or start scratching her face after having the can of food.


We are now waiting for the cans of Daves cat food.

Mine both likes the Fussie cat chicken and duck.   I wouldn't say they loved it since both seem to eat it rather slowly but they did eat it all.    Looks pretty good- shredded chicken  in gravy (looks like werva) but unfortunately there were only a few bits of duck in the can.  I think I counted 3 or 4 pieces.

So far Fussie tuna & prawns ranks up there with Merrick duck and chicken Pate, Tiki Puka luau, Nutro natural chunky chicken and Red Barn Tricky Chicky and the Pride Duck & Rabbit.That is what the cats think.

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. 
Let me know how they like the chicken fussie!

My two won't eat pate anymore and they didn't like merrick.
They eat an Italian tinned food called OK.
