smaller *cans* of Whiskas Supermeat-type food?

[Gwen]

Have you tried Bubz on felix supermeat? Or whiskas pate? Having non fussy cats I am so blessed I suppose as they will eat anything I give them

[Helena]

Here's the reply from Whiskas:

Dear Helen,

Thank you for contacting us regarding Whiskas Supermeat.

I can confirm that we produce a Whiskas Supermeat Country Pate selection box of 12 pouches.

We are unable to advise you of specific stockists as all of our products are delivered into central warehouses or wholesalers who in turn supply the supermarkets and shops around the country.

We do try to influence our major customers to stock as wide a range of our products as possible. Some of the larger retailers will not stock the whole range on the grounds that sales are not sufficiently large to justify the additional shelf space required. We can confirm that Morrisons, Sainsburys, Tesco and Jollyes have all taken orders into their central warehouses.

Alternatively, it may be worthwhile asking your local pet shop or the Consumer Service Desk at your supermarket to obtain the product for you from their usual wholesaler or warehouse.

If you need any further information or advice please contact our Consumer Careline on the telephone number below and one of our Consumer Care Advisors will be more than happy to help you.

Kind regards.

my cat loves the Supermeat range but as she only has one wet food meal p.day I find that by the end of the can she isnt as interested as she is before then. I dont want to switch as I find she is 'windy' as it is, but I might have to f I cant find an alternative in pouch format. Are there any suggestions you can make?

I dont know where that leaves me and Bubz......

Felix Supermeat is a tad chunky, I have't seen Whiskas supermeat pouches for years, I last bought them when Tig had FIP.
Jane - you could get the senior supermeat for yours

[Janeyk]

  I never knew they did Supermeat pouches, my 2 will just about only eat Supermeat

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

No they are two totallly different things.

[Mark]

Sorry I stand to be corrected,its the Pate they do not the supermeat,sorry

Isn't pate just a posh name for supermeat? 

[Helena]

its ok.

whiskas do supermeat pouches also

Never seen them in Asda! Which supermarkets carry them?

Helen

[Mark]

I wouldn't recommend freezing cat food as you don't know if it has been frozen before. I agree supermeat pouches are a good idea. They are 2 boxes for £5 in Tesco right now.

whiskas do supermeat pouches also

[Desley (booktigger)]

I have only ever come across it in kitten and senior. They used to do supermeat pouches, and I know Felix still do supermeat pouches, so they might be worth a go?

[Gwen]

 I know theres a smaller kitten version but its a loaf but I think its basically the same thing,not come accross it in adult though

[Helena]

Are there any out there?

I'm finding I have to freeze some of every can [two Bubz-size portions typically] because otherwise she will only eat a little from the end of the can, duly emptied into a plastic container and kept in the fridge. Trouble is that it defrosts into a consistancy that is very wet and sometimes Bubz doesn't eat all of it. I give her one wet portion and one dry as well as nibbles through the day and don't really want to switch away from the meat only meals that Supermeat offers. She's windy enough as it is!

Any suggestions very welcome!

Helen
