"My kitten appears to love this stuff... Even more than his wet food which I'm not too keen on. He seems pretty finicky about wet food in general though and only seems to like my other cats prescription diet which I have to keep him away from."

— Mary

"If I could give this 0 stars, I would. First of all, this food smells horrendous. My cat was barely eating it. And the last time I saw her try to eat any I literally saw her gag! I threw it away immediately and gave her something else. She acted like she hasn't eaten in weeks! Do not buy! Not worth ..."
