I don’t have a cat — not home enough to admire and serve one — but I often shop for cat lovers. The pet food aisle is often more than half empty of canned cat food.
And even when it’s not, the fare is not what I’d like if I were a cat. Too much “pate,” as if cats prefer paste or they need to gum their food. The cans are so small and the prices so high. Many labels boast gravy (water). There’s plenty of canned cat food with rice added. And absolutely no cat food with mouse meat.
The dried food is cheap and is basically vitamin cookies.
A can of tuna in the people aisle isn’t cheap but at least you know it’s 100 percent cat food and a bit on the chewy side.
When I had a cat I fed him mainly chicken.
He preferred the dark meat and I preferred the white meat.
I would buy cans of wet cat food to round out his diet.
A six-pack of canaries will set you back ten bucks.
“Too much ‘pate,’”
Our cats will only eat the pate’ style.

That’s good for a change once in a while, but cats need taurine for their eyesight which is added to cat foot.
P.S. I hate these people who are turning America in to Venezuela.
“A can of tuna in the people aisle isn’t cheap...”
Not cheap when you have a barn full of cats.
Dry food is cheap for a reason. Cats are obligate carnivores and they need meat. A steady diet of dry food (which has little meat and tons of cars and chemicals) can lead to feline diseases like Feline Diabetes and megacolon.
The worst wet food is better than the best dry for cats.
