Makes me realize that I've never tried green tripe on Desmond.Cats love super stinky food Our noses, not so much
My angel kitty, Krista, when she became toothless in her last year (proactive extraction of her remaining teeth to finally end her FORLs nightmare), these became her favorite treat because they were one of the few treats she could eat without teeth.Makes me realize that I've never tried green tripe on Desmond.
Our dog will do backflips for green tripe. It is the only item he'd eat before raw liver.
So stinky! Like cow dung.

This is great to hear! I still haven't tried Mouser on our cats -- I also ordered a Cat Person trial box that arrived before the Mouser so started with that. They're not thrilled about Cat Person but will eat it... not atypical for them with new food. I'd be really thrilled about it if it didn't have tapioca but it lacks the things I really can't/won't feed so I'm happy enough with it as is to hope they decide to eat it consistently!The girls had the Field Hunter (chicken/mouse) can this evening. Another successful meal. I do think that Mocha likes Rawz a bit better; she eats it faster and cleans her bowl. Iris will gobble down anything so Mocha is the one who needs to approve.
If I lived alone, definitely! I do use my handy dandy Oxo jar opener a lot, though. (Not for cat food, of course.)Would one of those ring top can opener things be useful?
I just gave our cats small servings (a bit less than 1/4 can each, I think) of Pond Hunter and they both went right for it but neither finished her portion. I'm not surprised since the 7 p.m. meal is a small one anyway and Mouser is definitely a richer, heavier food than what they're used to, even with a little added water.The Pond Hunter (duck/mouse) was received with enthusiasm! But they’ve always liked duck more than rabbit.
A couple of things I’ve noticed about Mouser:
- It has more moisture in it than the cans of Rawz pâté.
- The metal in Mouser cans is noticeably thicker than other cat food cans. I didn’t have trouble with the other two, but I had to have my husband open today’s can. I popped the top but couldn’t pull it off!
Great description!And the smell, well, it's a bit assertive.
Bonus cat food! I find that a lot of items don't weigh what their labels claim they do. Some of the clumps frozen raw food I used to buy were consistently heavier than labeled. And then there was the time the chicken I bought at the grocery store was way under the promised weight: even though it seemed like a skimpy pound (or whatever it purported to be) the only reason I found out for sure that it was under was that I had to weigh it for making cat food!Aaand that’s a wrap. They had the Forest Hunter (turkey/mouse) and ate it willingly. Here’s a weird thing: the label said the contents weighed 156 g. but my kitchen scales had the contents at 179 g. The girls ate most of their food but not all. It was more than they’re used to.
I haven’t decided if I’ll order more. I like to give Iris and Mocha variety, but I’d prefer to buy locally.
Great description!
Yes, I agree, I think it must be the high calories!It’s interesting so many of our cats aren’t eating all of the Mouser, or, coming back to it later. To me this implies it’s better for you, and that they are satiated faster. (Either that, or in other cat foods, there is some mystery ingredient that makes them addicts…am inclined to suspect this of FF gravies). As for buying locally, am right there with you, but Mouser is brand new on the market, and I spoke to the folks that make it who say they can’t get it into stores fast enough! To me it would seem easier to feed the world’s cat population with mice than…say, cows, and possibly better for the planet. I dread thinking about how much my catfood contributes to climate change. Home cooked local food, of course, probably beats anything I could order.
If you're still interested, try this, it's where I purchased it;retail purchase I hoped to make this week.
