I see quite a few people posting about feeding their cats Fancy Feast.
Is this a quality food?  I was always under the impression that Purina
wasn't the best, however if I can pay $.40 a can as opposed to $.68 a
bag (for Nutro wet), that'd be a plus!

Yes, Fancy Feast is a quality food, some flavors more than others.

I like to feed my cats the flavors that have real beef, liver, chicken,
turkey or fish as a FIRST ingredient, and those that have no wheat
gluten or other grains.

Read the labels and you will see that some have grains and some do
not, some have "meat byproducts" as a first ingredient and some beef,
liver, chicken, fish, or turkey."

Tender Beef Feast and Gourmet Chicken Feast (brown can
and reddish-pink can) are two with meat as a first ingredient.

Some have beef or chicken broth as a first ingredient and meat
or chicken as a second. My cats love Liver and Chicken Feast
and Tender Beef and Chicken Feast. (They only like ground,
so those are the varieties I use. There are others. Just read
the labels, you'll see!)

Boy, I need better glasses or something!  Those labels are tough to
read!!  Thanks for the tips, I will just have to find a young stud to
read the labels to me when I go back.<g>

Rudy and Levi got their first tastes of wet food tonight (Nutro chicken
and liver kitten and chicken and liver weight management).  They LOVED
it.  I've never seen Levi eat so much at one time!

Yes, the labels are really hard to read.  I carry a small magnifier but
still cannot read the labels.   MLB

Check out the cheapie "readers" they sell in Walmart and Target.

They come in strengths of 1, 1.25, 2, 2.5, etc. The really good ones
are $8 but there are usually dollar sales on them too!

That's another thing about wet food, it is really gratifying to see them
enjoy it so much, isn't it?

You will see their coats get shinier and eyes get brighter too.

Plus they get a lot of the moisture they need from it also.
