Purina Friskies Tender and Crunch'd With Flavors of Chicken, Beef, Carrots and Green Beans - 16 lb. Bag

I have this on auto ship, my cats love this brand and flavor. Good price too!

Well liked by my Inside/ Outside Tomcat. Even my house mice love the taste.

The cats love it.

The cat really likes it, he digs right in, and goes to town on it, every time he's fed. Big bag, and will last him quite a while, and for somebody who rides the bus, the price is competitive enough to be worth not dragging this big bag along with me from a store. Hasn't had any problems with digestion, eating this for nearly a month. His tummy is just right, no bloating or losing weight. And his coat is super soft. He's a mottled gray tabby, so he's just not the right colors to see if it's shiny or not. Have not seen any behavior for energy loss, in fact the opposite.

Who Should Buy: Multi-cat households needing bulk value or owners of cats bored with standard dry food. Who Should Skip: Grain-free purists or owners whose cats will only eat the soft pieces and leave a bowl of crumbs. I used to spend a fortune on high-end grain-free kibble like Blue Buffalo thinking I was doing the right thing. My three cats rewarded me by looking at their bowls with absolute disdain. I finally caved and bought this Friskies Tender & Crunchy Combo and the hunger strike ended immediately. The Lucky Charms Effect This food is a mix of standard hard crunchies and softer meaty "tender" chunks. I call it the Lucky Charms effect because my cats treat the tender pieces like marshmallows. They literally dig through the bowl with their paws to hunt down the soft chicken and beef bites first. If you have a cat with dental sensitivity or one who is just bored with uniform brown pellets that texture contrast is a huge appetite stimulant compared to rock-hard premium brands. The Bulk Reality (Pros & Cons) We have three cats so this 16-pound bag is a financial lifesaver. It costs significantly less than the premium stuff and lasts us about a full month. However there are two catches you need to know. First the bag is not resealable. Once you cut the top you have 16 pounds of food exposed to air so you absolutely need a dedicated airtight container or a clip to keep it fresh. Second because they love the tender bits so much my pickiest eater sometimes eats only the soft stuff and leaves a bowl full of hard kibble that I have to mix back in later. Verdict It isn't the healthiest dry cat food on the shelf-corn is the first ingredient-but it keeps their weight up and their bowls empty for a fraction of the price.
