I have to say as well, for people like me who are on a serious budget at the moment, at £2.50 for a box of 12 pouches it is great value.

The pouches have gone down well but not the tins. I opened a beef one last week and it smelled like Brains Faggots so I assume they have a lot of cereal in  :sick: - None of it was eaten btw.

It is a shame Wilkinsons stopped selling the single tins of go-cat as mine loved it and it was only about 40p a tin.

They're currently eating kitekat, after eating classic for a while and deciding they were bored of it. I kind of like to rotate food, so they stay interested in what they're getting.

I have tried the Coshida tins and Opticat pouches when Oliver was smaller and much less fussy.  I would say the quality is about on a par with the likes of Friskies, Whiskas regular lines, and nutritional value would be about the same also as Shiba, Gourmet Fancy Feast etc.  For example for a chicken flavour the ingredients would read "meat and by products, of which chicken 4%".  Which is not exactly ideal, but passable if you have many cats and just can't provide the top notch brand all the time.

I've just got some Opticat puches and have given Dave and Chilli half a pouch each of one in jelly and they approve! Don't know about the biccies though as have JWB still so they are getting the good stuff to balance out the not so great wet :evillaugh: Still, they're not bothered, cheap or expensive, foods food to those two!

Don't know any of the nutritional stuff JS but they have both passed the test in our house  ;D

The opticat pouches have the definate seal of approval after I bought them in an emergency everywhere else is shut moment.

And the coshida biscuits in the blue cardboard box have also been approved  :evillaugh:

Lidl sell them both fairly reasonably so thought I'd ask. :)
