Cat Food

No matter where she is, no matter how fast asleep she is, as soon as my cat, Chanel, hears the pop of a lid being lifted off a can of Fancy Feast, she comes running to the kitchen. She knows the sound of that little tin being opened and meows in eager anticipation. As I scoop the meat morsels onto her plate she licks her lips.

As I move away from the kitchen counter and walk to her feeding place, she follows me, her eyes like lasers on the plate. What will it be today? Beef, chicken, tuna? Not that it matters to Chanel, she gobbles it all up until there is nothing left, not even a drop of gravy.

Manufactured by Nestle Purina PetCare Company, based in St. Louis, USA, Fancy Feast is more than cat food in a tin, it is a gourmet meal. I know it and cat owners around the world know it. Our furry friends and companions can be notoriously fussy with what they eat; but when it comes to Fancy Feast, they seem to be quite pleased with what appears on their plate.

With a variety of grilled, sliced, marinated, minced, gourmet, roasted, flaked and chunky meats or fish, there is something for everybody. The fifty different varieties mean that cats never have to grow bored of their dinner as each meal can be different. But meat or fish, with or without gravy, is not all Fancy Feast has to offer, there is also a selection of soufflés.

Whether it is tender turkey, yellow fin tuna, white meat chicken, wild salmon or seafood and egg, each dish is guaranteed purrrrfect satisfaction. In addition to wet food, Fancy Feast also offers three varieties of dry food: Filet Mignon flavour with real Seafood & Shrimp, Ocean Fish & Salmon and Savoury Chicken & turkey.

Like packaging of all wet and dry products, Fancy Feast provides a full list of ingredients and advises how much to feed a cat per weight. They also advise the introduction of new foods gradually as to not upset sensitive stomachs. Also stressed is the importance of fresh water on a daily basis.

During the recent contaminated pet food scandal, Fancy Feast remained free and clear of any harmful substances in their pet food. A message on the home page of their website stated that all pet owners could shop with complete confidence.

I admit that in an attempt to provide Chanel with the best food possible, I have slipped away and tried other brands--from supermarket brand food, to top of the line pet store brands. In the process I forked out quite a bit of money. I could have saved myself the trouble and the expense. Chanel took one whiff at the new food and walked away. Some cats like variety and some do not.

My Chanel gives the Fancy Feast cat food product an enthusiastic two paws up!
