"This product is a hit with my finicky cat, Even picky ones love this one and they don't even care about the other food even portioned version of the same product"

β€” new to cats

"Unfortunately, the high water content in this product often leads to vomiting, even though the cat otherwise likes the taste and it smells good. This and the cost are the downside, but we ended up sticking with these products."

Bottom Line
