Yes, but it might be dry for them so they may need some assistance from their owners when feeding them every meal.

Can my cat eat it every day?

Yes, but be aware that owners need to provide them some water and or sauce to make it appealing for the cats.

It may cause sensitiness but if your cat is finicky eater who accepts it and the famiy budget allows them to buy it without difficulties can be fiddly with the satchels and portions but didn't not have problem and did not have to dip in it to portion it out for the day meals.
