Both my cats love this.
By Drolma on Jun 13, 2020
Kitties continuously eat this until it is gone. I split one pouch between two 8-month old cats twice a day. My cats like variety and their other favorite is instinct. I have one cat who seems to have a sensitive stomach and I don't have to clean vomit with this food. (She vomits with most fish and now I am noticing vomit with Rabbit.)

Love the chunks, but my cat doesn't
By Lifetimecatowner on May 27, 2020
I really like cat food that isn't in pate - bad for their teeth and gums as it sticks to the gums and helps develop gum disease. I bought this product because it looked healthy and it was very chunky with lots of gravy. Problem is that my cat will not eat it. I've tried various times, but she will only licks the gravy, leaves the chunks. I'm going to have to return it.

？my cat suddenly stop eatting it
By Oliva on Mar 28, 2020
My cat used to eat this normally , however, my friend helped me to take care of her about 1 month without eat this. After that, she hate it, whatever I mixed this with anything else she won’t eat it at all. I am so curious about why.

my kitten’s favorite
By 12345678 on Oct 22, 2019
My kitten will only eat this and royal canine thin slices in gravy. She will also eat Iams hard food, but this is by far her favorite. She will see the pouch and immediately run over! I also prefer this to stinky canned foods.

kitten loves the gravy
By sass on Dec 7, 2019

My cats love it!
By Heidi on Aug 26, 2019
The pieces are big but my cats and kittens don't seem to mind it at all. When the kittens were really small (under 2 months) I'd just chop up the pieces a little more for them even though they seemed to be eating it just fine.

Pretty good
By Merk on Jun 29, 2019
Not really sure what the point of these reviews are since it seems like every cat likes something different. I have two cats, one of whom seems to love the dry food and rarely touches the wet, and the other loves the wet and rarely touches the dry. The one that doesn't seem to like the wet food seems to at least somewhat like this. Depending on how hungry she is, she might just lick the gravy off, or sometimes she'll eat some of it. So is this food any good? I don't know, you'd have to ask my cats. But since even the dry loving cat seems to like this at least a little bit, I'll give it 4 stars.

Lots of gravy; don't love the bag
By emily on Jul 22, 2019
This cat food smells like real food! and out kitty definitely likes it too. The bag opens easily but is a little tricky to get every last drop out of because of the folds in the bottom. Very gravy-heavy, great if your kitten likes gravy but ours is more into serious chunks. Actual food texture is a sort of meatball-like composed mass, cut into small bits.
