I AND LOVE AND YOU Wet Cat Food - Chicken Me Out Pâté - Chicken Recipe, Grain Free, Filler Free, 3oz Pack of 24 Cans

This is a rich texture pate' but not solid like most other commercial kinds of pate' & it has sufficient moisture PLUS it is HOLISTIC food for all life stages! "All life stages" is one very important characteristic of good cat food. THERE ARE NO FILLERS! & NO carrageenan. I am not sure if the added spinach do cats any good, but it smells divine & one quirky characteristic I found is that the aroma is better if put in the frig before serving. I once again put it in the frig the morning before I went to work, served this to my kitty in the evening & she ate all of it--it just enhances the aroma, that's all. There are cranberries listed toward the top & it lasts well in the frig with the original aroma when put back for later in a covered container. Yes, I found out the best aroma comes when it has been in the frig for a while--strange but true. I have a few tiny dessert-size oven to table containers so I put remaining food in these tiny containers & cover with celophane & the next day the original aroma remains the same!--that means it is quality food. My kitty eats all of it, so unless I open two cans at once, there is no need to put any back most of the time--but you can & I have saved some for the next morning! This food demands a tiny extra time in the mouth for swallowing because of the rich texture. As always I want to emphasize that dark meat is more indicated for cats than white meat. It tastes better, adds fat & is less dry. White meat is only a people pleaser. Natural flavor? is that MSG? Here is one answer: MSG "should" otherwise be listed as MSG. Their site says "NO artificial flavors", preservatives or colors. This is Holistic food! The definition of natural flavor under the Code of Federal Regulations (for people) is: “the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional” (21CFR101.22). INGREDIENTS: chicken, chicken liver, chicken broth, cranberries, spinach, carrots, natural flavor, sweet potatoes, alfalfa meal, flaxseed, guar gum, salt, potassium chloride, taurine, dl-methionine, choline chloride, cassia gum, xanthan gum, salmon oil, iron proteinate, zinc proteinate, vitamin E supplement, thiamine mononitrate, copper proteinate, manganese proteinate, sodium selenite, niacin supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin supplement, vitamin A supplement, biotin, potassium iodide, vitamin D3 supplement, vitamin B12 supplement, folic acid. The aroma I think comes from a combination of good chicken & added ingredients. My concern is that they put peelings in with the sweet potatoes so if there are any toxins from the peelings they all get into the food--white potatoes contain peeling toxins & as a European I shudder at the thought of eating peelings. I only presume this but I am not sure. I think no one would peel sweet potatoes for cat food--I know the other brands DO NOT PEEL the potatoes. This food is carrageenan free! AND without the toxic supplement Menadione Sodium Bisulfite (source of Vitamin K)--(The Material Safety Data sheet on Menadione-sodium bisulfite states: “The substance is toxic.") Update Dec 14, 2015. I opened another can a week later & it seemed not to have the original great aroma, but I realized that the best aroma comes out after it has been in the frig for a while--unopened can OR portion taken out & put into a container. My kitty ate all of it--including the second can at the same time--I opened a second can to try to figure this aroma thing out. The unused portion remained fresh & aroma fresh until the next morning. All was eaten & enjoyed!

First of all, my cat seems to prefer "chicken flavor" over every other flavor. I did get the variety pack at first to see if she would go for the turkey or even the cod; she does like tuna on occasion. But, chicken was the "clear winner" per usual. The best news is, I have been trying to get her on a more "nutritious wet food routine." I have tried other food, and wasted many cans trying to get her to eat. I stumbled across this on Amazon, and gave it a try. She LOVES IT!!! In fact, I was feeding her on the lanai with this, and a rabbit's blood crunchy on top, and had a recent bobcat sighting in my yard!!! Make sure to feed your kitty "indoors," and don't make the mistake I did because this wet cat food is very enticing, and I think maybe the bobcat could smell it a mile away with highly sensitive nose. Having said that, "it doesn't smell bad at all." It smells rich and meaty. I highly recommend for picky eaters. Oh, and one more thing: My cat's fur is SO FLUFFY AND SILKY NOW, AND LESS SHEDDING!!! She really is looking more healthy since I've gotten her on this. I think it's a good brand, and reasonably priced. Chicken pate all the way!!!

Great brand my cats love it . I wish it was easier to find in stores but it is not. Cats never had any issues eating it .

Both my cat and I are happy. She likes this food and I feel like I am giving my cat quality food at a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the last shipment was not packed well and all the cans were slightly dented. One was dented so badly that the food was leaking out and two others were dented beyond use. I tried to return it as damaged product, but was not able to do so. Suggested packers add padding to the box before shipping.

I AND LOVE AND YOU Grain Free Canned Cat Food is one of the few brands our very picky cat will eat. They are made from quality ingredients and come in a nice selection (his least favorite is beef, though). We always have to keep some on hand for whenever he gets in the mood for them (usually Purrkey or Chicken, though occasionally, Oh My Cod). Two paws up from Mr. Picky.
