Petite Cuisine Variety Pack (Yellowfin, Snapper, Tuna & Sole, Tuna & Shrimp) for Cats, 3-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)

I cannot really comment my own opinions on this product since for obvious reasons I will not be sampling it but I will trust the vendor that it is every bit as good for my cat as they say. How would I know differently anyway? All I can tell you is my cat's reaction. This consisted of the following:

"Meowwwww! Errowwww!" (as I am dishing it out) After placing it on the floor there was copious munching and slurping until the bowl was empty followed by licking of chops to devour anyy stray morsel that may have stuck to a whisker and then a forlorn look that indicated the preceding events should be repeated. I'll take that as two paws up or whatever the feline equivalent is to the Siskel & Ebert sign of approval.

None of this is any great surprise. The noted finickiness of cats usually applies to dry food. Place a bowl of any random dead animal parts in front of them and they are far more decisive. Still, this was an especially energetic performance and hence the high rating.

After trying all the flavors I found that 2 of my cats love this food. The 3rd cat, notoriously picky, will only eat the yellowfin flavor. He doesn't seem to like foods with whole chunks in them, but he is very fond of thinner foods with gravy. There is less gravy in these cans than you find in "regular" store bought food, which means you get more actual food. Good for us, but not so good for my picky cat who wants nothing but gravy!

It's somewhat comforting to see recognizable bits of food in the cans. The shrimp in the tuna & shrimp flavor especially is neat - they're whole salad shrimp. Also, the food sits well with them. The price isn't much more than what you'd pay for good food at a pet shop. All in all I would recommend trying this.

My cat, PONCHO, loves this food. He's one of those especially finicky cats too. The food is not overprocessed and sure to please the most particular of cats. Overall, a gourmet cat food at a reasonable price. Meow.

Unlike other fish catfood, this product does not have that strong fishy smell. Nice flaky chunks of fish in some nice gravy.

However Ms Cassiopia lapped up the gravy and left the fish. This has happened with other food so it is no reflection on the product.

I would have given it 5 stars but since I won't be buying it, I gave it 4. If your cat will eat food other than pate, you will want to give this a try. Looks almost like something you would eat.

I have given the remainder of the package to a less fortunate friend.
Her cat will probably eat it and expect it all the time.

Thank you!

Petite Cuisine is labeled as "People food for cats." That's about right! If I didn't know it was for cats, I might have tried it because indeed, it looks and smells quite wonderful. The kinds of fish, too, are to my liking. Anytime I go to the sushi restaurant I get yellowfin, snapper, and tuna. However, and this is a big one, my cats have looked at it, tried it, and declined it. They usually eat Fancy Feast - the grilled kind - and I don't understand what in Petite Cuisine would not be to their liking. Maybe it's too healthy. It does have the ingredients one should like: fresh fish, juicy sauce, vitamins...
So I have to assume that to any reasonable and average cat, this would be perfectly satisfactory and more than that. I'd give it 5 stars if my cats ate it.
