They really are crafty   :shify:

i just opened a foil tray of Sheba Salmon flavour - they have changed the texture to make it different from the steamed one. The chunks are huge now - It even look different and Clapton only ate a bit. He usually loves it - I won't be buying that again  >:(

I try to get mine eating a mix. Hill's senior light biscuits go down well here - they are 50% chicken/turkey + some fish, so pretty good meat content - much better the the adult light. Also they are low phosphorus. I can't get Clapton to eat renal biscuits so this is the next best thing.

Mine are fed primarily dry foods (Hills atm) and wet food is a treat.  Bozita isn't a fave right now but we alternate between that because of the high meat content, natures menu and whiskas

I didn't rate the new Whiskas - it was smellier than normal but looked very similar and same poor meat content - the only Whiskas I like is the Oh So, as that is bout 14% meat - whiskas rarely do two meats in one pouch, unlike Felix.
Please spay your cat

Ah yes the new "Simply"- they call the fish one steamed and the meat one grilled (even though the fish ones are mostly meat  :shify: ) I clearly remember a couple of years ago them announcing on the regular boxes that they were now steam cooked  :shify:

I will get a couple if I get time to go shopping between 5 exams over the next 2 weeks  :Crazy: - they are just like the Sheba trays in look and (disgusting) smell  :evillaugh:

I really think Lidl own pouches are better quality - they definitely smell nicer and are only £2.17 normal price. They have a gravy selection and a jelly one - they are all double flavours, ie chicken & liver.

I agree Mark, they don't make things easy with changing small things and marketing them as completely new products

This is the product along with the useful price comparison website I should use more often

I thought they started calling the regular Whiskas steamed last year. But then again, I get confused with all the different ways they find to con us into paying more money for cat food  :evillaugh: - I thought the latest Whiskas variants were grilled and "in sauce" - I will have to take a look. I have learned that my lot never eat the posher ones, although they did eat a few of the grilled ones; which I am sure is the same as Sheba foil trays.

I thought i'd give this a try as Nova adores fishy wet foods - will see how he likes it tomorrow as a different treat :)
