When I first joined this site I was adamantly against feeding Fancy Feast to my cats. However, I have been doing a lot of reading about the brand and it seems that it might not be as bad as I originally thought (and definitely a lot more affordable than a lot of other brands). Reading through the forums it seems as though most people recommend the Classic recipes and only the classic recipe. When comparing the classic and chunky recipes of the same flavor it looks as though the Chunky actually is higher in protein and lower in fat, which seems better... is the turn off the ingredients breakdown (there are some icky ingredients in both)?
Could anyone shed a bit of light on this for me? I have included the breakdown of information below.
I should also note that FF is not the only food in my kitties' diet. I also rotate in Tiki Cat, Soulistic and Natural Balance.
