Sounded like a good product but the stray cats didn't like it
There's a cat that comes around the backyard... let's call him "Kitty Moe". He's not our cat, but he seems to think he is. So we noticed he got beaten up by all the fat cats in the yard, while he was bony and weak. We started feeding him. First our leftovers, and when we noticed he came to expect us to feed him, we bought him a food bowl, a water bowl and cat food. All sorts of cat food: Dry food, wet food, chunky, pate, the "just add water to get gravy" variety. Well, one day I came across this brand. I liked that it was natural food, thought I'd do right by Kitty Moe and make him gain weight in a healthy manner.
The first time I gave it to him, he ate it like the strays were coming for it. (They weren't. I stood right by him until he ate it all up). Problem was, the next morning, I found vomit all over the backyard.
Circumstantial, of course. I didn't see the cat vomit the cat food, so I'm just assuming here. (Yes, I am making an ass of myself by mentioning this without confirming it... but it's vomit. You'll pardon if I don't play Sherlock Holmes on this one.)
For the next few days, I fed him old faithfuls, full of deliciousness that it probably not healthy for him.
A few weeks later, I finally tried giving him Blue Buffalo again come evening. I tore the lid off the cute little can, flipped it upside down in his bowl, and pulled the can off the wet food as one would while making a sandcastle at the beach. I called Kitty Moe over and left as soon as I saw him prancing towards the food.
The following morning, I went to check on his food supply... and all of the food was still there. The perfect circular shape of meat flakes... the glossy exterior had now dulled and a few edges of the flakes had hardened.
Kitty Moe did not like it.
... but also, keep in mind many strays come to our yard. The strays didnt like it either.
We also have possums and raccoon visitors that like to frequent our yard at night, and neither of those questionably cute (depending on your perception,) mammals touched the food.
I liked the idea of natural cat food, but even the trash pandas don't want it.
