I can still get the last two but the first one is the problem.

Tesco rang me yesterday and said its worth filling in a card to ask them to restock this, so will when I go in tomorrow.

My order still hasnt arrived and nearly out of the missing one.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #17 on:** June 16, 2011, 13:50:26 PM »

Gill, Seapets sell 3 of them individually (the chicken and liver, ocean fish pate and tuna with shrimp). All in stock.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #16 on:** June 13, 2011, 20:45:27 PM »

Its funny Jiji, I used to have a supermarket in my cupboard too but have gradually whittled it down by taking things on visits

One lot I dumped in a bin in a cat shop for strays but only have a whole load of food that Napoleon used to eat and then stopped and its very expensive to buy online, about £10 plus for 12 mini tins........sigh, Have about 48 tins!!

Thanks for the thought Jiji

It's a shame you don't near me Gill, I have a big box full of assorted tins, trays and pouches from when Algie was ill and I was trying to get him to eat something, most of which he still won't touch and Noodle is not a wet food eater

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #14 on:** June 13, 2011, 15:51:32 PM »

Right now I am having a problem getting Ducha to eat anything and if he does its one tiny mouthful.......sigh

I know its part his age etc and dont know what effect the loss of his brother is having on this, I so wish he could talk.

Misa at present I have loads of food for, well I will have when the order arrives and Sasa is happy with her gourmet fish, as long as I can get it.

Its the future I am worried about but hoping this is a temporary lapse by Tescos.

Have started trying Sheba trays for Misa and they seem to be going well.

Oh Gill I am so sorry. As you know Bonnie eats Gourmet but she's not as fussy as your 3. She'll eat the sachets and the little tins in any flavour. I also have a number of supermarkets to choose from and Asda seem to have the biggest choice.

Misa likes food in a sloppy gravy? How about a tin of John West Stewed Steak

Or tins of chicken in white sauce - Bonnie loves that. How about making your own gravy to pour over the food? Bonnie always licks my plates (which is brill since my dish washer broke)

sorry not much help but

I love it

Gill,I feel your pain!! It's bloody hard trying to get food that these fussy furrbabes will eat! I honestly think they are worse than the worse resturant critic!
I worked in Sainsbury's for a while in the run up to christmas a couple years back.They,in their wisdom,decided to de-list Atora Suet,which as you know is one of the main ingredients in christmas pud,cakes ect.Needless to say,customers came in looking for it so as we didn't have it,they went over to the big Tesco's over the road.
So I told management who really couldn't be bothered....The fact they were loosing custom to a rival seemed to escape them....

No problem Edd

I think that wa the place I tried when I couldnt get Purina One a year or so ago and they were not in the slightest bit interested, I have changed to the more expensive purina now and suddenly the old fish flavour is back in all supermarkets.....sigh

I think I have enough food for now and am gonna wait and see what Tescoes puts back on the shelves!

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #9 on:** June 11, 2011, 19:36:40 PM »

Sorry Gill - I misunderstood the bulk buy section

Isn't Gourmet part of the product range of Nestle Purina - their HQ is in Surrey and they have an advice Services team:
http://www.purina.co.uk/home

So don't know if they would be able to answer your query?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #8 on:** June 11, 2011, 19:21:18 PM »

Sorry Edd the linked place mostly vareity packs which are no good and not the right flavours in the 12 packs.........sigh.

I have been to PAH today and picked up 10 tins of one of the flavours but that will last less than a week.

I dont know if the problem is Gourmet or the shops cos its like the info part for contact us on the gourmet site is not working but this makes me so angry cos anyone who has cats know the problems of changing food.

Sootyca · « **Reply #7 on:** June 11, 2011, 16:12:14 PM »

I'll keep an eye out. I'm annoyed with Gourmet as Robbie loves their Souffle food and they have all vanished from shops.

madamcat (Edd) · « **Reply #6 on:** June 11, 2011, 13:35:57 PM »

Think Pet Supermarket do most of what you are looking for - :

http://www.pet-supermarket.co.uk/products-Gourmet-Gold-Cat-Food-Cans-12-X-85G_HB3860.htm

Or bulk buys:
http://www.pet-supermarket.co.uk/products-Gourmet-Gold-Cat-Food-Cans-Bulk-Buy-8-X-12-X-85G_CN138022.htm

Also have you a PetsatHome near you - the one near me does individual cans but can't remember what varieties.

Jiji · « **Reply #5 on:** June 11, 2011, 12:46:21 PM »

Have you checked the Sainsburys website to see if they deliver to your area? I live over 10 miles from the store they deliver from. They have 3 or the 4 varieties (which cover all three cats) and they have them on offer until the 14th June.

CatGirl · « **Reply #4 on:** June 11, 2011, 12:32:59 PM »

Hello,just looked on supermarket.com,they have Duck and Turkey,alsoChicken and liver,and Ocean fish but doesn't say pate.Dunno if this helps?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #3 on:** June 11, 2011, 12:25:17 PM »

Think two of them are gold and one maybe solitaire but the flavoiurs only come up once.

Its a blooming nightmare cos it looks like Tesco which is my main superemarket is discontinuing all of them.

I bout some sheba trays last night, 5 different and Misa gobled one but the next this morning he has just licked the jelly grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Susanne (urbantigers) · « **Reply #2 on:** June 11, 2011, 09:04:00 AM »

Which gourmet ones are they, Gill? Gourmet do a whole range of different ones - solitaire (which Jaffa loves), Gold etc.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #1 on:** June 10, 2011, 23:59:59 PM »

I have been trying all week to get the right gourmet food for misa and tonight have tried both tescoes and morrisons, we dont have anything else, and I cant get them and looks like they are phasing them out.

Cant get on the gourmet site but they show the flavours.

I am now desperate and have just paid a fortune to get 8 x 12 packs online but they are going to take up to 5 days to arrive. I tried zooplus but cant get the right flavours .

For Misa I need Duck and Turkey casserole and Chicken and liver.
For Ducha I need Ocean Fish pate
For Sasa I need Tuna and shrimp

Misa has just decided to like these and is gobbling them and he likes food in a sloppy jelly/gravey sauce not in the solid jelly, if you understand. My house is always very warm so they dont need to be in big cans but am now looking for something else I can get cheeper and that he will like.

Sasa is a real problem cos these are the only thing she will currently eat and doesnt like the Purely fish range.

Ducha will only eat this fish pate.

I am in despair!
