I manged to get a few cans of Lotus Just Juicy Turkey Stew today, wow .... both cats inhaled it! It's shredded turkey (and only turkey - a single protein food) and while the ingredients list "potato starch" there is far less starch than I've noticed in other foods. For example, just about every can of Weruva's Steak Frites I open, I put it through a strainer - there is so much starchy liquid it looks like potato soup.
Not the case with Lotus. The liquid - very little actually, is far clearer and looks a bit more like a broth than a thick soup (almost like the consume of Tiki Cat).
The ingredients also list "carrots", however, when I opened up three 2.5 oz cans (yeah, they're small - and the food is pricey, unfortunately) I found only ONE small piece of carrot in each can. It was just turkey, that's it!
I'm thrilled to have found this actually, I don't know if it's human grade meat but it looks tasty enough for humans to eat. In the past we had Lotus Just Juicy Pork Stew for awhile, both cats really liked it but now only Mikey will eat it (although I don't feed them pork that often any more but once in awhile). Molly is the fussy one.
I found this food at a store that's nowhere near my area where I usually get my cats' food. When I checked the Lotus shelf, it looked like they were out of the JJ stew. One of the stock guys checked the stockroom and found a case. "We sell a lot of the JJ turkey stew - we order so many cases of this and it sells out quicker than we can keep it in stock."
I'm hoping we can keep this in our rotation, at least for my Molly who is fussy - Mikey eats mostly raw, he's easy to please.
Anyway, I would highly recommend this.
