Does anyone know which non-pate Friskies has the most meat and least gravy? Meaty bits, flaked, shreds, filets, etc

i don't know for sure, but i think the shreds, i have always had the best luck luck feeding the Shreds. They seem to like those better for some unknown reason... cats
one place you can look at foods and compare, protein, fat and carbs, that i use a lot is the cat food database.

No, that's what they look like. I've used them all on my cats. I think they like the Shreds best.

I don't know about the shreds, but I CAN tell you my cats both hated the Meaty Bits varieties even though they like the pate ones.

Your cats don't like pate?

The Friskies pate is a little lower in carbs than the others. However the pate does contain carrageenan, i will not buy a food with this ingredient.

The only thing I don't like about the Poultry Platter pate is that Fish is the 6th ingredient, like most of their pates. Is that okay? How much fish do you think is in there? Is it just a little bit of fish for Omega 3's? A lot of Friskies non-fish flavors have fish in them.

As far down the list as it is i dont think it would be a problem for most cats. I would imagine it will add some omega 3's and maybe a bit of fish flavor to entice cats to eat?

My cats do like pate, they can only eat the Country Style Dinner and Mixed Grill, because one of my cats vomits/get itchy ears when he eats fish. I was just wondering about the gravy types for an occasional treat
