"I've tried giving my cat wet food before but he showed very little interest in it, but with this he was very enthusiastic about eating every last morsel. Though be warned it has a very pungent and lingering smell."
"My cats wouldn't eat it, gave some to the neighbor with barn cats and they wouldn't eat it. I don't recommend it."

This food is a gamble. If your cat has a sensitive nose or belly, it might not be worth the risk. The majority of reviews suggest it's not worth purchasing. However, a few cats do love it, so it might be worth a small try if your cat has a tougher palate.
