I usually have about 5 different brands of canned food and then I have also tried to get more than the one guy interested in the freeze dried raw. For him, I mix it with extra water since it is rare to see him slurp up water from a water bowl. He gets his own special coffee cup of water on a table.
This crew or my previous cats have ever had digestive issues with different brands of canned food. I could write a book on which brands have looked and smelled good with human grade ingredients that no one will touch.
For their main meals I offer a 5.5 oz size can of higher quality food and one side dish (3 oz can of Fancy Feast split 3 ways). When my girls were still alive it included 3 sources but that's more food than the ones who eat canned food to finish. The Fancy Feast is the appetizer but they want to eat more so they dive into the good stuff most of the time.
The newest brands that are semi hits include Lotus Just Juicy Pork Stew. The only sound was the sound of kitty lips smacking. Second time was less enthusiastic.
Nutrisource and Pure Vita is hit or miss.
Nutrisource chicken and rice was a mild paw up.
Pure Vita stews (which really are pates) was not a big hit tonight. Left on everyone's plate.
Boo gets the freeze dried raw and gets tired of the rotation very quickly. He doesn't like canned food much but has a soft spot for Friskies Pate (what I give to the regular stray cat). He's pretty young still probably nearly 5 years old now. The others are senior cats and my oldest Scoo Baby who is 16 likes the freeze dried but I worry about the phosphorus because they grind up bones for the calcium. He's slightly hyper thyroid with okay kidney function so I don't like to test it.
As a result of the hyperthyroid and my recently departed great cat Etta (who had very high thyroid) I try to steer clear of fish (which is a sneaky ingredient in Fancy Feast flavors and some Wellness flavors) .
They like Wellness okay. They will not eat even one bite of Weruva anything. Weirdos.
