I adopted a one and a half year-old cat a few weeks ago and apparently he’s used to certain foods trying to give him quality stuff but it seems he’s not going for it so I’m gonna guess the Merrick is really good food. I can’t judge by my cat not liking it.

Did they change the formula?

We've bought this for years, but this last batch is a lot darker and our one cat that devours this is avoiding it. She will nibble, but mostly stares at it then

We've bought this for years, but this last batch is a lot darker and our one cat that devours this is avoiding it. She will nibble, but mostly stares at it then goes for the senior kibble we have out for other cats. Others are avoiding it as well.

Peaches is now 1 yr old and I have switched her to this hard food - to supplement her wet food. So far she likes it.
