Hi! So I got a coupon for Chewy.com in the mail the other day ($15 off a $49+ purchase!) so I went and checked out the website. I put a slicker brush, a furminator, and a 24-pack of 5.5 oz cans of Purina Pro Plan Classic Adult True Nature Grain-Free Natural Chicken & Turkey Entree. So I need some advice on the latter part.
You see, I don't yet have my cat, so I can't be quite sure what his food tastes will be. I'm going to see if I can ask the shelter for a cat that likes wet food (because I'm totally against feeding my cat dry food), but if I can't, I'll have to transition him over. And even if he does like canned food, how can I be sure he'll like this one? I would buy a couple cans at a nearby store first, but the nearest Petco is 20 minutes away (although we'll no doubt go there before I adopt my cat) but I'm fairly sure their food is more expensive than Chewy has it. And I want to have food stocked up before kitty arrives, if that makes sense. There's a Publix nearby, but the only food they have that I'm happy to feed is Meow Mix classic pate and I'm pretty sure that's more expensive in the long run than the Pro Plan food I've got here (and the feeding directions make less sense—feed 2-3 cans per 2.5 pounds of cat? How do I even know how much to feed then?). So I prefer the Pro Plan stuff. But how can I know if he'll like it?
Sorry, this got a bit long and rambly (I always seem to have troubles writing concisely), but basically I just want your opinions on whether or not I should order this food from Chewy before I get my cat and know what he likes. I've got a rather small list of foods I'm willing to feed and a lot of them are stretching my price range, and this food really fits the bill for what I want. I'm guessing there's not way to make a cat like what you would like them to eat, lol. Dogs seem a lot easier in that regard XD
