Cat Forum / General Topics / July 2005Quality "chunks in gravy" food?
Someone had mentioned in another thread that her cat doesn't like to eat paste-like food, preferring "chunks in gravy". My cat must has the same taste. But for some reason premuim canned food tends to be paste. Maybe most cats like it, but mine doesn't. If you can recommend some good values in food that has "chunks in gravy" texture, I would appreciate that. (Or as the other poster out it, what looks smells and taste like Whiska but has the nutrition of premium brands? While lurking, I was waiting for an answer to that question but it got lost in ensuing discussion.) BTW, texture being important to cats, shouldn't the cans say if it is a "paste" or "chunks" etc? Or do I just not know how to read labels? > Someone had mentioned in another thread that her cat doesn't like to > eat paste-like food, preferring "chunks in gravy".

Fancy Feast has recently improved it's content and has the chunk-type flavors. Most cans that have "in gravy" can be interpreted as being the chunk variety.

The PetSmart Authority brand is actually decent quality. My cats all like it pretty good. Some of the varieties are the chunks in gravy type. I can't think of exactly what the label says, but you should be able to distiguish it from the mushy type. -Kelly >> Someone had mentioned in another thread that her cat doesn't like to >> eat paste-like food, preferring "chunks in gravy".

My cat will eat just about anything (except senior, he hates the senior foods for some reason) but I buy the gravy varieties for my convenience. Since one can will give my cat three meals, the paste tends to get too solid when chilled, making it harder to cut up. The gravy varieties are easier, as I can just give him a couple spoonfuls at a time, which is a lot quicker when he starts meowing at 4am. pepsi > Someone had mentioned in another thread that her cat doesn't > like to eat paste-like food, preferring "chunks in gravy".

Mine don't really like the paste texture, either, but it depends on the flavor. If it's fishy, they like it, and don't care what form it's in. I wouldn't usually recommend the kind my cats like, but hey, they seem to be doing ok on it for now. We've been through all of the premium brands and they like them for about 2 days. Or until I buy a case. ;) They like the fancy feast; the grilled varieties of chicken, turkey, beef, and some of the fish ones - salmon and whitefish. I give them turkey or chicken more than the other varieties, but give them beef or fish flavored to keep them from getting picky. 2 out of 4 cats eat mainly canned food. One of the other two will only eat it if I don't fill his bowl of dry "on demand" so I encourage the canned with him. The 4th would only eat dry food for nearly two years but now will eat one meal a day of Wellness turkey flavored, and only that one flavor. It's the paste type. > (Or as the other poster out it, what looks smells and taste like > Whiska but has the nutrition of premium brands?

With Fancy feast, the "grilled" varieties are like shredded meat in gravy. The "feast" is a paste, flaked is a little chunkier than paste, "chunky" is only slightly chuncky, "sliced" is sliced, and any of the fish in aspic is really nasty looking but they love it as a treat now and then. LOL Yup, I think I'm familiar with all of the Fancy feast varieties.  SignatureCheryl "The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath." - W.C.

There are various flavors depending on what life stage you need. They only make senior in chicken.

Nutro makes chunks in gravy that is available in pouches. You can also try the max cat gourmet classics in cans - which is in the chunked form but the gravy is a bit thicker than the pouches. It is better quality than Whiskas and Fancy feast. > Someone had mentioned in another thread that her cat doesn't like to > eat paste-like food, preferring "chunks in gravy".

Each cat is different, but my cat loves those little packets of Whiskas sliced beef. In fact, as soon as I start to tear open one of those packets, my cat will jump up on the counter and try to start eating the food before I have even finished dumping it all in her bowl. My cat also likes the Purina and Friskies versions of sliced beef, but she really gets excited over the Whiskas version. YMMV. Stan--my 3 are the same way---they go apeshit over Whiskas beef--also the whitefish.--becky Thanks to everyone for helping my cat avoid the paste! I have learned a lot from you guys and have enough pointers to navigate in the aisles... |
