 My Cat Loves It December 4, 2008
Granted, my cat does not have the most discriminating taste (I've seen him happily munching on lizards and cockroaches), but I can tell he really likes this food. He usually breezes by whenever he feels like it to eat the dry food I leave in his bowl. Since I have been giving him Petite Cuisine, he is ready and waiting by his bowl at meal time. I have to push his head out of the way so that I can finish emptying the can into his dish.
Most canned cat foods look like fishy hummus or strange, extruded rubbery strips, but this food looks just like what you get when you open a can of tuna, except with more sauce. The shrimp flavor has tiny recognizable shrimp in it.
Full Crazy Cat Lady Disclosure: Before I would let my babies eat a new cat food, I did a little (ok, hours) of due diligence research on Petite Cuisine. After the Chinese pet food debacle, I wasn't about to let them eat food produced by an unknown foreign entity. According to what I could find on the internet, PetPlay Inc. is a relatively new American startup by CEO Eric Weber. He has years of experience with the premium cat food market; was part of the team that launched the Fancy Feast brand and ran the Friskies Japan division (both part of the Nestle SA family).
(According to the SoCal Buzz podcast I listened to, he even worked for Hello Kitty. I particularly loved his remark about cat owners being "a little more illogical" than other pet owners, therefore they are more likely to spend money for premium products - I resemble that remark.)
Yes, the cat food is produced in Thailand, but it is not associated with any of the companies involved in recalls for Thailand or China, and is not on any of the FDA's lists. They have nutritional facts and a nutrient analysis for each product readily available on their website [...]
Two Paws Up!! December 3, 2008
I cannot really comment my own opinions on this product since for obvious reasons I will not be sampling it but I will trust the vendor that it is every bit as good for my cat as they say. How would I know differently anyway? All I can tell you is my cat's reaction. This consisted of the following:
"Meowwwww! Errowwww!" (as I am dishing it out) After placing it on the floor there was copious munching and slurping until the bowl was empty followed by licking of chops to devour anyy stray morsel that may have stuck to a whisker and then a forlorn look that indicated the preceding events should be repeated. I'll take that as two paws up or whatever the feline equivalent is to the Siskel & Ebert sign of approval.
None of this is any great surprise. The noted finickiness of cats usually applies to dry food. Place a bowl of any random dead animal parts in front of them and they are far more decisive. Still, this was an especially energetic performance and hence the high rating.
 good food, but may not please picky cats December 3, 2008
After trying all the flavors I found that 2 of my cats love this food. The 3rd cat, notoriously picky, will only eat the yellowfin flavor. He doesn't seem to like foods with whole chunks in them, but he is very fond of thinner foods with gravy. There is less gravy in these cans than you find in "regular" store bought food, which means you get more actual food. Good for us, but not so good for my picky cat who wants nothing but gravy!
It's somewhat comforting to see recognizable bits of food in the cans. The shrimp in the tuna & shrimp flavor especially is neat - they're whole salad shrimp. Also, the food sits well with them. The price isn't much more than what you'd pay for good food at a pet shop. All in all I would recommend trying this.
Kitty Yum Yum :0) December 3, 2008
My cat, PONCHO, loves this food. He's one of those especially finicky cats too. The food is not overprocessed and sure to please the most particular of cats. Overall, a gourmet cat food at a reasonable price. Meow.
Actually smells pretty good! December 3, 2008
Unlike other fish catfood, this product does not have that strong fishy smell. Nice flaky chunks of fish in some nice gravy.
However Ms Cassiopia lapped up the gravy and left the fish. This has happened with other food so it is no reflection on the product.
I would have given it 5 stars but since I won't be buying it, I gave it 4. If your cat will eat food other than pate, you will want to give this a try. Looks almost like something you would eat.
I have given the remainder of the package to a less fortunate friend.
Her cat will probably eat it and expect it all the time.
Thank you!
MEF
