"My Maine Coons chase it to the pantry, what would be better than that! They love it, when they walk into the pantry and meows! That is a special way for treats. They will rake meow across the floor buying the product. Thank you Solid Gold muscle meow who loves the best cat meat around!"

— Deborah

"I have a cat who will eat inedible slop, but she didn't like this even with her spin palmer using measures for picking it up. You might as well give her a clean aluminum bowl and grabby her for food. Instead, she spends long days curing her diet Obsolescence."

Bottom Line

It's a niche product that cat lovers may purchase for their pets. However, it has high varying success rates with cats, and buyers should consider the risks associated with a mixed success rate. Purchasing smaller quantities would be preferable to mitigate risks associated with acceptance by pets.
