More watery than expected; cats are not digesting it well
»
Our cats usually get the "green can" Fancy Feast shredded varieties (they aren't interested in the green can souffle types, and the Florentine varieties give them gastric problems). The green can stuff is more elegant cat food, not amorphous brown blobs. Petite Cuisine cat food, while something they dove into, was much more watery than the meat-packed Fancy Feasts, and they have been suffering from loose bowels ever since we started them on the test cans. We're going to do one can every three days to see if they can handle that, with the green can stuff on the other two days. I'll report back.

My cats seem to enjoy this food - I give it two paws up
»
I decided to try this food based on the simple fact that my cats really enjoy canned foods with a seafood theme. We have three cats in our household, all siblings, two males and a female, around one and half years of age. We typically feed them dry food and supplement the occasional can of wet stuff.
I have to say that they really appear to enjoy all four of the flavors included in this package. They devoured all of the cans with gusto, and licked their paws appreciatively afterwards. From their viewpoint, the food was certainly a hit.
This product is made in Thailand, just as an FYI for anyone who might be interested.
I'll recommend it, but I'd be out of line if I didn't mention that this is something of a "gourmet" brand. The marketing concept, the packaging, and the quality of the ingredients all point to a product that's clearly aimed at cat owners with a little disposable income. Truth is, there are a couple of less costly wet foods (Fancy Feast, for one) on the market that are just as good from a nutritional and taste standpoint, you just have to search carefully for them.
On the other hand, buying el cheapo pet foods is usually not a good idea, either, since the cheaper brands use a lot of filler and have much higher proportions of inert ingredients like ash. My advice is to read labels and understand what you're getting. This food is probably on a par with something like Science Diet. It's good, healthy pet food, much like the organic foods that people spend more money on for themselves. ("Empty" calories aren't just a problem in the dysfunctional human food chain, unfortunately. Note to Michael Pollan: take up that subject in your next book, but please be sure to give me a shout-out for the idea.)
All in all, not a bad product. My cats definitely enjoyed trying it.

Meowingly yummy!

My cats are real picky about trying new foods. I popped open 2 cans (1 yellowfin & 1 tuna and sole)and set down the dish. The first cat walked over took a little nibble and then went for the full chowdown. The second cat realized that she was missing out, pushed the older cat out of the way and set about to power eating. 2 happy cats over here.
Happy human notes: no BIG fishy smell, no strange looking formed bits, just some good looking, healthy cat food.

My, this is popular!

"Uh oh," I thought when I saw "Product of Thailand" on the box, with the recent contaminated Chinese wheat gluten scandal reverberating in my memory, however unfairly. (I'm wary of food imports from Third World countries in general now.) Then I saw "People food for cats" and "No gluten" on the outside and figured I'd at least open a can or two to see how the food played with the target audience. We have three cats, two of whom have health problems and are sometimes picky about what they'll eat. From the first can, they have all scarfed this up--even the one with digestive problems who would generally prefer dry food and sometimes needs coaxing to eat. I've never seen her gobble canned food with such gusto, finishing everything down to the last shred and then checking out the others' bowls for remaining scraps (in vain because they like it as much as she does). The food looks like canned fish for humans in sauce--no prefab "morsels." The flavor with shrimp actually has little whole shrimp along with the fish chunks. My only concern now is that they'll dig in their heels when I go back to feeding them the more conventional food that's still filling the cupboard.

excellent quality
»
This is, at $1 a can, the most expensive cat food that I've purchased. It seemed overly expensive to me - at first. the cans are pretty and are only three ounces. At first, again, that didn't seem like much to me. But, my preconceived notions went out the window when I saw how my cats loved it. The pair of kittens kindly took turns eating from one can, but, they scarfed it down and came and begged for more. The adult cats each have been given one can a day. These cats NEVER growl at one another, but, when they're eating Petite Cuisine, they growl when another approaches. They finish each serving, inhaling it like the nectar of the gods. I'm ashamed that I'd never given this to them before and, despite the somewhat pricey bottom line and small cans, I think that this is one of the most phenomenal gifts that my cats have ever been given.
