You are right. I just read the ingredients again for Friskies Poultry platter vs. Authority chicken. Authority's ingredients do look better. Good choice.

I also noticed friskies first ingredient was meat by products and I was like oh I've read that's not good.
By-products in a wet foods aren't all bad. Some of the most nutritious parts of the animal are considered by-products (liver, kidney, spleen, brain, etc.). By-product MEAL is best avoided, though, as they're allowed to use dead-on-arrival or diseased animals in it (with the assumption that the rendering process that makes it into meal will kill the germs :/). By-product meal is usually in dry foods but you have to watch out because I've seen some canned foods with "meal", too. It's best to see a "real" meat listed before the by-products, though, which is why we recommend Poultry Platter--it's the only flavor with a named meat listed before the by-products. But I will buy other flavors with by-products listed first, as long as there's some named meat listed too.
Authority is better quality, so if it's in the budget it's an excellent choice. If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, their store brand canned cat food is of similar quality and about the same price (their dry food isn't so hot, though). The Petsmart brand that is nearly identical to Friskies is Grreat Choice. So if you need to add a few cheaper cans to the rotation, Grreat Choice Poultry Platter, Turkey & Giblets, and Mixed Grill would be fine (some of the other flavors are OK too, but those are the only ones I can think of right now :tongue2

Only the Friskies poultry platter flavor has turkey as the first ingredient.
I don't want to be misleading. If I was listing my favorite HEALTHIEST cat foods Friskies would not be on the list.
If I am listing CHEAP canned food that is better for cats than dry, it does make my list.
Glad to hear she liked it
