During a recent shopping trip, I accidentally bought a variety pack of Luvsome seafood canned cat food, because it looked a lot like the Fancy Feast seafood pack that I usually buy. The foods even had the same names - "Cod, Sole and Shrimp Dinner", "Salmon Dinner", and "Ocean Whitefish & Tuna Dinner" - the same as what's in the Fancy Feast pack, except that Fancy Feast says "Feast" instead of "Dinner".

I didn't think it was a big deal, since my cat's not a fussy eater and has tolerated a variety of brands in the past - we'd just work our way through that box, then go back to our usual brand. WRONG.

What followed can only be described as a "cat barf treasure hunt" -- four locations around the apartment that I know of, and there may be more I haven't found yet. He's never reacted that way to any food before...

I don't know what's in "Luvsome" but I highly recommend that you avoid it. Which means being careful when you buy your food that it really is the brand you meant to buy, and not a similarly-packaged knock-off...

Forgot to mention the heartbreakingly pitiful meowing of a miserably nauseous cat... I am so sorry my friend, I promise I will never feed you that nasty garbage again!

I'm not even going to donate it to a shelter, I don't want to make their cats sick! Straight into the garbage, where it belongs...

Your poor guy! Hope his tummy feels better.

Here are three things in it that might explain it: artificial flavors, guar gum and added Color (red 3 And Other Artificial Color). There might be more. Here’s what catfooddb.com says about Luvsome: CatFoodDB - LUVSOME Cat Food Reviews

Thanks for the warning!
