I bought some of that the other week but they weren't impressed. Nor was I as it isn't really pate but chunks squashed together. I don't remember it smelling any worse than any other food. Felix Shrimp & salmon in jelly stinks but Alice loves it   :Crazy: - the only cat food that smell like appetising, proper cat food is Whiskas supermeat - especially the "original" which I can never seem to find thesedays.

You can get the "original" version if you get the tins Mark,I get them for ours :)

RE; The smell Gill.  WhenI paint i put a plate of chopped raw onions in the room and it takes away the smell, maybe it would work for you, hope so.

Definately ring them up and they take your details and send a voucher- either £5 or £10 .
I had some in summer and the pouches were swollen - i opened one and it knocked me sick - they said there must have been a tiny hole somewhere and air had gotton in . I got a £10 voucher , but have had one or 2 other problems and got a £5 voucher -sometimes you have to send them some unopened ones from the box to check.

Definately do Indy.......I think we have to start being pro-active on this now cos its happening more and more.

I had a felix pouch a couple of weeks ago that was open in the box and stinking to high heaven, didnt do anything about it but should have done!

Sounds to me that felix are not taking sufficient care in their manufactoring process!

£10 voucher for anything sounds good to me though  ;D

I just got a £10 voucher to use for any felix products in any supermarket. I had opened a box and one of the pouches hadn't been sealed so had gone rotten. There were tiny flies in it  :sick:

I don't think they do much. They usually ask for the number on the box and send you a voucher.

The house is still stinking after opening some food I bought to try for Franta.

Cat food always smells bad to me but this tray was terrible. It was confirmed by hungry Misa who took a sniff and walked away.

It was Felix pate trays and am gonna ring them on Monday and have kept the box with the reference number.

The seal wasnt broken on the tray but was disgusting and am gonna sling all the trays now cos I did try one with Franta before he went back to the vets, It didnt smell wonderful but not like the one I had opened.......I hope that the little he ate did not cause him to be ill again.
