I have a very easy going not picky Bengal that’s about 3 years old and she refused to eat this food. I left for a weekend and had it in her auto feeder and she wouldn’t touch it at all and it somehow attracted TONS of ants straight to the cat food from the back door and I’ve never had this happen before in over 15 years with pets in this house! She wouldn’t even touch it mixed with old food or treats so idk what to do with it. I ruined a bag of her old food mixing it in with this food, but I won’t be buying this again.

I try to get different types of foods to mix together in their bowls. I like the idea of giving them a variety to choose from. When this order of Chewy came, I placed both new bags of food (this brand and another) besides their food bins, and watched to see which bag held their interest. My boss cat was all over this bag of food; rubbing his face on it, hugging it, meowing at me about it. Of course this was the first bag opened, and everybody is happy!

Cats won't eat it.

My cats don't like it. When mixed with canned, they will eat around it until that is the only food left in the bowl.

Teeny tiny pellets - not a satisfying chew for my cats...

While I appreciate the intentions of the ppl at I & Love & You - the miniscule size of these pellets seems to just turn both my cats off wanting to eat! Yeah,

While I appreciate the intentions of the ppl at I & Love & You - the miniscule size of these pellets seems to just turn both my cats off wanting to eat! Yeah, they still choke it down (hunger will do that!) but I'm noticing spit out pellets everywhere around the dish that Never happened with our previous dry food. Maybe it still Tastes okay to the cats but it's a texture thing? I dunno but I won't be buying this again.

Good customer service

Plus, this time they separated the order into two boxes: when they put it all in one box it weighs more than 60 lbs, which is unsafe for anyone to lift.

Your flawless customer service

Unfortunately, not sure if our cats are liking the foods. May need to switch to something else.

They love the taste

I give them kibble, as a snack in between feedings. I tried several of the different flavors and they like them all.
