Cat Food

giovanni: yeah it is

sylvie, climbing on a table to be tall: IF WATER IS WET, FIRE IS BURNT! DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN THAT KIND OF WORLD?

With 4 cats of all different ages and energy levels, it becomes a challenge to find foods that would suit all of their needs. The Freshpet brand has been around for a while but only appeared in our area a short time ago.

Today we will try the Beef and Chicken RecipeGourmet Pate. At a price of 4. 99 and with the impressive list of ingredients, this package did call my name from the shelf. Freshpet provides a guarantee that if the food does not smell or look fresh, they will replace it. So, I think it can be the best food for your kittens.

I had to smell it, of course. The pate does actually smell very good, like something a human would eat as well. The package contains 454 grams and a side ruler for suggested serving size portions of 57 grams.

For the first tasting, I cut 2 servings (114grams). The cats already had breakfast in the morning, so 2 portions between 3 big cats and a tiny portion for the kitten sounded right. I noticed that if you start cutting pate at room temperature, it becomes a bit messy. It clings to the knife and then splatters everywhere. So, I would suggest to cut it while it’s cold and then warm it up to serving temperature.

Because of the kitten, I had to introduce the cats to the new food separately. Junior enjoyed the tasting as usual. Junior would benefit from this food, as he needs more protein to maintain good health. This food is very soft and it is easy to cut it in small pieces for easier digestion. We have managed to gain control over his weight in the last couple of years and I hope this will extend his life.

Sky, who is a bit more conservative when it comes to wet foods, seemingly enjoyed it, too. He is also in his senior years now, so the carbohydrates and vitamin B 12 would help maintain his still pretty high levels of energy. Nine was my biggest worry. He is the pickiest eater of them all and just refuses to follow any feeding schedules.

Maybe this is why he maintains such a slim body. But summer is around the corner and he needs a lot of protein to climb his trees. Nine definitely picks his food by the smell of it. So, it was awesome to see him eat with a great appetite. Baby Chuck did get a little tasting of the pate as well.
