    Cat owners, what’s your go to wet food? Now there’s one mouth to feed I’d like go for something a little fancier than dine.

      What’s your price range and their preferred texture/flavour?

      Edit: Due to chicken allergies Melbcat gets Dine Desire or Fancy Feast Royale in the pure fish flavours (for wet food). Snappy Tom was tried and looked good with big visible fish pieces but she reacted to something in it. Ziwipeak has good food if you can afford the price tag. I’m about to try her on some Weruva steak and pumpkin.

      For dry food it’s single protein grain free. She used to get Healthy Everyday Pets in the fish flavour but that got too hard to eat and has shut down anyway.

      Meals For Meows is a decent food but once again the kibble is being made quite hard. Currently she’s eating Wellness Core but that’s hard too. She loves Vetalogica Redland and would be eating that if the lentils didn’t upset her tummy.

      Warning, a lot of this stuff is expensive. I’m extremely frugal with other things in order to afford it

        Pate, and anything with minimal gravy/sauce or he just laps that up and leaves the bits.

        Edit- Forgot the price range probably no more than $2-2.50 per can/pouch.

          Sorry, edited before seeing this. You could try a Tiki Cat Velvet Mousse variety pack.

          I’ve never bought it because of the girl’s allergies but it’s grain free and at a glance looks to have decent ingredients.

            Thanks for the recs, I will go and do some googling. I was also looking at Ziwipeak and Wevura, so maybe I’ll see which of those he goes for.

      Scored like 200 free tins of fancy feast. Still getting through it. Cats seem to enjoy it alright.

        Score! I can’t feed him Fancy Feast, makes him rather smell in the bathroom.

        He used (keyword) to love ultimates, I like that you can actually see the ingredients as well.
