How much your cat needs to be nourished daily depends on their activity levels and what stage of life they are in. Generally, the more active they are (think adventurous outdoor cats) the more they’ll need to eat. Use the chart to the right to determine the nutrition guidelines for your cat.
Kittens: Post weaning to 5 months old feed 3 times as much food as an Adult cat of the same weight. Between 5 months and 1 year feed your kittens 1.5 - 2 times as much food as an Adult cat and start feeding kittens as Adults after 1 year. Moisten food if desired. Always maintain a clean water supply that your kitten can easily access.
Pregnant & Lactating: Monitor and maintain an adequate source of food so that your pregnant or lactating cat can freely eat as she needs. Always maintain a clean water supply that your pregnant or lactating cat can easily access.
While it’s perfectly safe to stop feeding your cat’s previous food one day and introduce Fussie Cat the next, we recommend a gradual transition to Fussie Cat for up to 2 weeks. This is especially true if your cat has been previously fed a high grain, corn, wheat or soy diet. Start by introducing a small amount of Fussie Cat, increasing it daily while decreasing the previous food by the same amount. This will help avoid upset stomachs as it makes it easier for your pet’s digestive system to acclimate.
What sets Fussie Cat apart from other pet foods?
Fussie Cat recipes are based on our Meat First philosophy. Meat or fish is always the main ingredient. As cats are obligate carnivores, nothing but a Meat First recipe will provide complete, Physiologically Tuned™ nutrition for your pet.
Why is real meat as the first ingredient so important?
All Fussie Cat recipes are based on our Meat First™ philosophy because cats are obligate carnivores. They require high amounts of protein to thrive, and lack the digestive enzymes to properly break down and combine incomplete plant proteins. This means they must have high-quality animal protein for optimal health.
Should Fussie Cat canned foods be refrigerated after opening?
Yes. Any unused portion must be refrigerated in a sealed container. Consider a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. In addition, we recommend using each meal completely within 4 days of opening it. If your cat doesn’t care for cold food, let it sit at room temperature for around 30 minutes, or microwave it for 10 seconds (in a microwave safe dish, not the can), prior to feeding.
How do I read the dates on cans of Fussie Cat?
To help ensure you’re getting the freshest food for your cat, we provide both a “Production Date” and an “Expiration Date” on our packaging, located on the bottom of the can. It will read: “PRO MM/DD/YYYY, and EXP MM/DD/YYYY.” Never feed our pet food or any other brand to your cat past the expiration date.
What is the shelf life of Fussie Cat food?
Our recipes are vacuum sealed in our kitchen to give them a shelf life of 3 years. As with any pet food, never feed our meals to your pet past the expiration date, which is clearly marked on the bottom of the can.
Fussie Cat may be healthy, but will my cat like it?
The healthiest recipe in the world is useless if your cat won’t eat it. Conversely, the most delicious recipe falls short if it doesn’t provide the nutrition your cat’s biology demands. That’s why our recipes are all “Co-Created by Cats.™” We start with the Meat First™ ingredients your cat needs to thrive, then we taste test our meals with actual pets to create meals that are as delicious as they are nutritious.
Can I feed my cat dog food, or vice versa?
No. Despite what you may have heard, cats and dogs have unique nutritional needs and should be fed meals designed specifically for their needs. Health problems may occur from not feeding your pet a complete and balanced, species appropriate diet. Check the AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) statement, or on the product packaging to determine if that recipe is appropriate for your pet’s nutritional requirements.
Is Fussie Cat easy to rotate between flavors with my sensitive feline?
Because Fussie Cat® products are formulated to have similar nutrient profiles it is a great rotational diet. If your cat is sensitive to a certain recipe we recommend that you try another.
How do I know Fussie Cat provides my pet with quality nutrition?
All Fussie Cat foods are made in an FDA-approved kitchen that also produces human-grade foods. We regularly inspect everything from the manufacturing process to the raw ingredients that go in our foods so you can rest assured your cat’s meals are prepared under the strictest guidelines for quality control that meets international standards.
Do you perform any invasive animal testing in developing your products?
No, and we never will. Our company was founded on the basis of providing delicious, nutritionally correct, value conscious meals for your cat. To fine-tune our recipes, we conduct trials where our food is fed to pets. This is done in a comfortable, stress-free environment for the animals.
What is AAFCO and is Fussie Cat AAFCO approved?
AAFCO stands for Association of American Feed Control Officials. All Fussie Cat recipes are formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO for all life stages of your pet. This certifies that Fussie Cat is a nutritionally complete product that can be fed to your pet as its sole ration without adding any other substance except water. For more information on AAFCO regulations, visit aafco.org.
Co-Created by Cats
Instead of just assuming what kind of food cats will like, Fussie Cat lets them call the shots. Each recipe is co-created and taste-tested by cats to make sure your own kitty will love it. Aside from being highly palatable, Fussie Cat wet and dry foods are full of quality meats like boneless chicken, duck, tuna, shrimp and prawns to make sure your little carnivore is getting the protein-rich, feline-appropriate diet she needs.
Made for Meat Lovers
If there's one thing cats crave, it's the rich taste of pure meat. It makes sense, because they're obligate carnivores. Your four-legged friend probably lets you know exactly what she likes, and it's sure to be fish, poultry or meat. Fussie Cat has farm-raised poultry, ocean fish from the South Pacific, and a whole range of interesting seafood options like Threadfin Bream, smoked tuna, mussels, clams and anchovies.
Physiologically Correct Diets
Knowing that cats need meat protein to survive, Fussie Cat developed formulas that they call Physiologically Correct. As true carnivores, their bodies are extremely efficient in processing meat, so 20% of their diet should come from animal proteins. Fussie Cat's foods start with meat, are low in carbs and include a complete spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals. You can be sure your kitty's getting all the necessary amino acids, protein and other nutrients.
Kitty's Choice
With two canned food lines and several tempting dry food options, your cat can always have the dinner she prefers. Fussie Cat Premium is a tuna-based menu that pairs this popular fish with chicken or seafood delicacies. Super Premium is made for chicken lovers with boneless chicken, low sodium levels and plenty of omegas. Market Fresh dry foods are crunchy and delicious, with proteins full of vitamin B12, and antioxidant-rich cranberries and blueberries.
Outstanding Quality Control
Fussie Cat makes their top-quality foods in an FDA-registered kitchen—the same kitchen that produces canned food that's fit for people to eat. Thorough quality inspections are conducted daily for food safety, heavy metals, pathogens, contamination and pesticides, so the end product is everything that you should expect it to be.
About Fussie Cat
Fussie Cat uses a carnivore-friendly, meat-first philosophy to provide wholesome meals that are full of the animal proteins your cat needs to thrive. Meat is always the main course, and carbohydrates only appear in limited amounts. They've created recipes that not only pass the strictest international food safety tests, but also kitty taste tests with flying colors. Cats from all corners of the U.S. will find all their favorites in Fussie Cat's Market Fresh dry foods and flavorful wet foods.

My kitty loves this
By brandi on Jan 29, 2021
I’ve been feeding my kitty this brand for three years now. Started educating myself on pet food and went from feeding meow mix to this and the difference was immediate. By the next day my cats coat looked smooth and shiny and she felt soooo soft, plus the second she first smelled it she went crazy for it, trying to rip into the bag.

inconsistent experience
By molly on Jan 29, 2021
I’ve only bought this brand for my cat and she loves it most of the time. But a few times now, I’ll serve from a new bag and it will make her sneeze so much that she can’t eat it. I’m super bummed about this and am going to have to switch brands. The inconsistency is frustrating and I never know when a new bag will give her this reaction.

Excellent Food 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
By TinyDancer11 on Oct 1, 2020
I took in 3 cats from the same home, the previous owner fed them the crappiest / cheapest stuff on the market. Before I was able to get them up to CT from NY 7 months ago go my friend whom set up the rehoming had 2 of them for me since 1 of them needed surgery & she was nursing him back to help. She feeds her cats very good expensive food yet they wouldn't eat it. After conversing w/ her cat rescue friends they all said they never met a cat that didn't like this food. Boy were they correct. I started out w/just the chicken & turkey but then wanted to give them a little more of a variety mixed in. So I mix the 2 bags together. They couldn't be more happier! Of course they get canned food as well I took in 3 cats from the same home, the previous owner fed them the crappiest / cheapest stuff on the market.

Of course they get canned food as well but not this brand. I always say they eat better than I do. They are previous owner would put dry food down then take it away but after working on it they now graze the dry food. All of my cats have done that. It truly is an excellent food! Even my vet has said so. Def. give it a try! … more

Bust kitties hate
By Chicabee on Oct 13, 2020
Bought this based on previous reviews and obviously the manner in it was prepared. I felt confident that with boastful reviews and the manner of preparation I couldn’t go wrong - well these kitties turned there nose up on this food! All 7 of them! ( I have fosters) I could not believe that not a single one them would eat this food! Jeez! I had zero kibble to offer so they went 3 day without food but still they kept their nose crazy. There you have it. Don’t know what the deal is. Oh I was so impressed with the reviews I’d even started a supscription for not only the kitties but for the pups -they make pup food too. Suffice it to say I canceled that order.

By CKCK on Dec 11, 2020
Maybe this food doesn’t have a definite taste since it’s a hodgepodge of ingredients. Maybe there’s one ingredient that turns my cats off? Anyhow they won’t take a bite and their history is grain-free.

Cat Loves It!
By CrystalJ on Jul 29, 2020
I wanted to dry a grain-free food for my cat. A friend recommended this brand. I bought a small bag to see if my cat would eat it. She got so excited when I opened the bag she put her whole head in the bad to start eating, and I've never seen her do that with any other brand. I assume she liked the smell. I put a small amount down for her to try, and she ate it quickly and looked for more. My cat is VERY picky with her foods and has lots of chronic digestive issues and some foods or treats make her puke. She can tolerate this so well, she's never thrown it up so not even once so far, so it must not upset her tummy at all. The price is comparable to what I was buying previously.

I plan to buy a bigger bag next time, because we have definitely found her a new dry food in Fussie Cat! The pieces are small round balls, which I think might set better on her tummy than larger kibble because she sometimes tries to swallow pieces whole so the bigger kibbles sometimes upset her tummy if she tries to eat too fast. My cat and I love this food. … more

Good for Fussie eaters
By GACatFriend on Sep 21, 2020
I purchased for my 17 year old cat with CKD because he will not eat any of the RX kidney diets (tried many options) and is very picky with other wet/dry foods. I offer Fussie Cat dry if I cannot get him to eat his wet food and he appears to really like it so far.

I thought "no way"
By PurrPaddcatbed on Sep 24, 2020

Kitty like
By Ponymom on Sep 13, 2020
kitty likes. That's a win. Will buy again. This food seems to be agreeing with her. Old food made her itchy and throw up. Halfway thru this bag, those problems are gone.
