Red Barn Tricky Chicky is grain free and was a big hit with all 3 kitties in my house. Merrick pates have gone over well also and are grain free. They like the duck, chicken and turkey. I just ordered a case of Dave's turkey & giblets (grain free, too). It's coming today. That (hopefully) will be their dinner. Other than the once in a blue moon exception, their litter box deposits don't smell at all.
Have you tried tiki Puka Puka luau all white meat chicken? Mine also like Nutro natural chunky chicken and red barn tricky Chicky and Iams liver and chicken delicaciesI'd have a full on revolt on my hands if I ever ran out of Weruva Truluxe Quick 'n Quirky Chicken and Turkey or Peking Ducken Chicken and Duck. They like On the Cat Wok every once in a while, but that's because they tire of beef cat foods quickly. Two out of four like the Tiki Gourmet Carnivore Chicken and Turkey and Chicken and Duck, which is a shame because it has more meat than the Weruva. Weruva is meat in gravy and Gourmet Carnivore is mostly meat with a little water (the "and liver" varieties have more moisture and less meat). Heck, I would eat the Gourmet Carnivore, it smells that good. I don't know what's wrong with my cats :dk:
Pride by Instinct is also popular in our house, but only the rabbit and lamb. And it has to be flaked, not minced
Hound and Gatos used to be a huge hit, but I think it was too bland to maintain their interest...or they started rejecting it due to the high gum content. The company is removing the gums later this year, so we may try again when the new formula comes out.
My IBD girl eats Instinct exclusively, but no one else will touch it.
Everything mentioned above is grain and carrageenan-free, with human-grade meat.
All of the Nature's Variety Instinct lines except Pride and Go Natural are pate. The Pride is minced and chunks. All of the Weruva lines and Soulistics are shredded / chunk / slice type in gravy. The food looks good enough for a person to eat, lol
One of our local pet food stores says the Weruva rep actually will eat the food out of the can! As it's true what LTS3 says about cats changing their minds about shreds: our current cats and previous cat all got to love shreds after being dry food and pate eaters.
All of the Weruva lines and Soulistics are shredded / chunk / slice type in gravy. The food looks good enough for a person to eat, lolJust take a look at the pictures on the Weruva web site. Your cats may like Weruva even if they turned their noses up at other similar foods in the past.
The nutro natural choice chunky chicken loaf is a Pate!
Ah, got it! Nutro Natural Choice has some soft loaf foods that are pates without chunks: our cats love pretty much anything from NNC, though some of them (including duck, which they love as an occasional treat) have carrageenan.
Chunky chicken and turkey and minced chicken and turkey and sliced turkey have no carageenan
Indeed! Those are the ones (minus the chunky turkey, which they're not so wild about) I feed regularly.
My cats used to be strictly Pate, but when I stopped giving dry they started eating everything, freeze dried, shreds, chunks, minced.
