Many of the high quality canned foods I am looking at these days have some type of potato in them. Last I heard, potatoes weren't good for cats, and I can't find much online, strangely. Can anyone speak to this? Thanks!
Good cat foods aren't cheap! Our moderately picky cats eat some of the foods you list: Tiki chicken (the one with egg, too, but that has higher phosphorous), Weruva (only Cats in the Kitchen poultry because most of the regular Weruva has potato), plus occasionally Soulistic chicken in pumpkin, in the pouch. The only Nature's Variety Instinct I've tried on them that they've liked have been turkey and duck. They hated Blue Buffalo Wilderness! And they've liked some Wilderness Core but I'm cutting back on that because of carrageenan. (Some of those are also very fairly high-carb.) I feed them Hound & Gatos lamb, too, plus some Nutro Natural Choice.
I've noticed that about Nature's Variety Instinct. Wish I had the funds to not have to worry about cost. But I did try Nature's Variety Instinct on them and they don't really seem to like it much (thank goodness!). Also have tried Merrick, which they liked okay, and which I may be buying some more of, Tiki, Weruva, Blue Buffalo Wilderness and a few others I can't remember. They wouldn't hardly eat the Blue Buffalo. I used to feed them Soulistics, for quite a while. But most of their flavors are fish. Shame, cause that is really high quality food, in my opinion. I am going to start Wellness in the big cans, many because of lower cost. They aren't real crazy about it, but they will eat it, for the most part. I'm actually thinking about buying beef and chicken gravy to mix in, because I suspect they would like it a lot more that way. Thanks to you and LisaHE for the information. This is so confusing!
Are you talking about regular gravy for humans? If so, I would be VERY cautious about doing this because they will be too high in sodium plus may contain onion and garlic powder.I'm actually thinking about buying beef and chicken gravy to mix in, because I suspect they would like it a lot more that way.
Also, gravies are commonly made with flour and/or corn starch for thickening.Are you talking about regular gravy for humans?
