Cat food shortages have been going on for almost 2 years now. Also the quality and consistency was real bad for a while. At least with the Friskees. When you shake a can of Pate and you can hear and feel it slosh around that is not normal. Next time the Pate needs water added.
Using Friskies is your first problem. It is the garbage of cat food. I've read that it utilizes rendered roadkill, euthanized pets, etc. in its formulation. I wouldn't bring it into the house.
Pate? Daisy never touches the stuff. She only likes Friskies Gravy Lovers Turkey in Gravy. Same thing chicken flavored? She does the burying poop maneuver in her dish. Got 3 cases on Chewy and local Petsmart has iit too. Plus Safeway, for more $$. All of our stores have full shelves of pet food, never noticed a shortage..
She also gets Nutro chicken and brown rice crunchies with no GMOs.. Petco has it and so does AMZ. Perhaps Chewy.
So no pet food shortage in our lives.
