Common Questions

Do cats like the texture of this food?

The texture is chunky and some cats may have trouble eating it.

How do I make to solve this issue

Pureeing / Chopping the food generally makes it better and easier to feed the cats. Would be awful not to have a good texture food part with meaty morsels

"This food seems to be really popular with our two cats - they gobble it up. It is small nuggets rather than shredded pieces and I wasn’t sure they’d like it, but so far, so good!"

— KimP

"My senior cats were only interested in the gravy part and left the rest of the food. The chunks when rarely eaten were thrown up. I think the chunks are too large."

Bottom Line

If your cat is fine with chunks, especially with some size variability, and is within the price range, this product checks a lot of boxes. It could be a fun addition for a cat lover in your home.
