Purina Fancy Feast Savory Centers Wet Cat Food Pate Variety Pack With Chicken, Salmon, Beef, and Tuna Pate with Gravy Center – (2 Packs of 12) 3 oz. Pull-Top Cans

Picky Familiar’s Favourite!
You know how it goes: You find your feline friend his (mine’s a rescue boy named Puddin’ Pi, previously “Scratches”, which was *clearly* incorrect, so I’ll be using the male gender, even though he’s fixed) favourite tinned food, stock up and then his nose is turned up.Well, in times like these, when you’re lucky to find any tinned food, let alone the brand he likes, or the Holy Grail of type and even particular flavour, you do the very thing you swear you would never do, and empty the shelves of said product.I didn’t! In fact, I offered some to my upstairs neighbours when Pi was having a change of heart toward this (TBH) true love of his. It was random and lasted about three days. Hysterical. The boy came to me at four years old and it took him almost a year to trust me enough to sit on me, and months before he would let me touch him for more than a few seconds. So, he is slow with his affections and can still be a tad skittish, or has a sense of humour.Apparently, the upstairs cats will now eat nothing but this. Ooops! Although I dislike plastic, I have bought other FF products that come in such containers, as canned foods have become harder to find locally, for at least a year. I tried giving these to Pi, but his heart is with the Savory Centers.Pi doesn’t mind a different type for a palate cleanse now and then, or tolerates it. I have a bowl of high quality dry food down at all times, and then he likes me to give him small amounts of the wet food at a time. It’s a bit like having water from a tap, rather than a bowl, I suppose.It took me a while to figure out what worked for him, and I’d much rather serve him amuse bouche amounts throughout the day, than plop down the whole tin/plastic container and then have to deal with the slowly crisping results left behind. I’m on an extremely limited income, and before I understood Pi’s preferred servings, it was hard to watch my non disposable income turn into inedible cat food rocks.Did I mention I’m a vegetarian, and that my beloved dog died, so nobody else would be eating up petrified cat food? You *know* Pi isn’t even worth mentioning here! (And yet, here I am)!Anyway, I have a couple of cases of “other” food in my pantry, in case the supply chains get completely shut down. I open one now and then, and Pi obliges, by eating sub par (in his far more developed palate than mine) food for a day. Or, at least pushing each wee serving around his plate with his tongue and giving it a polite nibble, before shaking a rear leg at it and then dashing off to bop at a toy mouse.But, basically, what makes him actually vocalise his happiness, is when I crack open a tin of Savory Centers, and slice out a third for his dining pleasure. He pops up on his rear legs as I lean down with his plate, and mews the sweetest little sound, that fills me with joy.Because our companion animals bring us so much pleasure in this seriously confusing and too often dark and depressing world, it’s fantastic to have something we can rely on, if only for a while, that we know makes them happy. So, I’d say you should buy some for your familiar, but just don’t empty the shelves! Not all of us have the money to do that, and more important, it’s really not fair to do that, as it’s creating a shortage that may not even exist, and then we have price gouging.Buy a case, or a few tins, and hey, if your familiar doesn’t like it, then donate to a shelter, or to needy neighbours like mine…they are teachers, need I say more? Fancy Feast makes great products, so I don’t need to say anything about that, right? My late cat, Jammy Dodger, loved a completely different line of their food, but Pi is a gravy boy, so, between the lava cake type center and the pate style; this is his favourite food.For now!

The only food my cat will eat
My cat is 20 years old and I’ve been experimenting with different wet foods because the moisture content is good for her kidneys. I leave dry food out but she prefers the wet. It’s a win win. Once I figured out she liked pate more than chunky foods, I tried several kinds. Blue Buffalo makes a senior pate that she liked okay, but she wouldn’t eat the whole tin, even the small ones, and it would go bad so I’d be wasting so much. Then I tried fancy feast perfect portions. She went back to eating her dry food lol. Then I found that her favorite treats, temptations, made a wet food! She guess bezerk for those treats so I ordered a case of the pate. She loved it. Unfortunately, it’s super hard to find them in stock anywhere! So one week, in a pinch, I ordered a case of this stuff hoping that the extra gravy would be enough to at least keep her eating until the temptations food came back in stock. To my delight, she ate the entire can. Then the next one. And the next one. When I finally presented her with the temptations pate again, she looked at me with such treachery in her eyes that I vowed to never change her food again lol. She eats more now, she’s gained some weight back, her fur looks nourished, thick, and clean. Her poops are adorable. She drinks water without complaint and her kidneys are happy I’m sure. I lost a cat to kidney disease after years of having to administer SubQ fluids weekly. My vet was amazed by my kitty’s improved kidney function and I really think it’s this food. The water content is so high and she loves the taste. The cans are the perfect size and she looks 5 years younger since switching to this stuff! Thank you Purina savory centers!

Good for cats who don’t love pates
One of my cats can no longer eat chunky wet food without throwing up. So we have been trying to stick to pates. Unfortunately, my other cat is really just in this game for the gravy, so he usually does not like the pates.This has proven to be a crowd pleaser for both cats. The savory center is more like a runny jelly texture than a gravy. Which makes the whole pate rather…. gooey. I think that’s the best word for it. Regardless, it is definitely not dry, so it pleases my gravy seeking cat.If you like to use half a can at a time, it’s pretty impossible to just cut the gooey center in half, because it is not really centered in the pate. It’s not a big deal, but for those who like a more precisely portioned meal, keep it in mind.I am knocking off a star for limited flavor availability. My cats like constant variety. With only four flavors, they eventually start rejecting this.
