 It looks good, but not a big hit for the cats. December 17, 2008
My two traditional striped cats eat mostly dry Science Diet cat food with a few NuCat vitamins added. They also get Iams canned chicken, turkey, or beef once a day. Brownie prefers the dry food but will eat some canned food only when the can is freshly opened. Pi likes both. We tried the Petite Cuisine Variety Pack (Yellowfin, Snapper, Tuna & Sole, Tuna & Shrimp) and the Petite Cuisine Variety Pack (Chinese Chicken & Chicken Pot Pie) over the course of sixteen days. Each cat got about one-quarter can each day. I alternated cans of chicken and fish varieties.
At first, the felines were enthusiastic. After a while they tired of the chicken. Pi would only lick up the gravy, while Brownie refused to even look at it. The fish was better received. They like the yellowfin and the tuna & shrimp. The cat vote is for two of the six varieties.
There is, however, a question of mercury in ocean fish. A 1995 study in Japan found that cats that ate tuna had a higher concentration of mercury in their fur than cats that ate dry cat food. The study and its results are discussed in an article that you can find on the web by using the search term "all about tuna fish". I posted a question on the Petite Cuisine web site as to whether they had tested their products for mercury. I have not received an answer. My conclusion is that it may be ok to give the cats fish as an occasional treat but not as a steady diet.
5 star for quality, but 2 for price December 16, 2008
This is basically shredded white chicken in a seasoned gravy like broth. ALL 5 of my cats inhaled it and licked their bowls clean. It appears as human grade food. That said,and since it is not organic, it is more cost effective to buy a can of broth, add some seasoning and add a mashed can of chicken. I think the cost of this cat food for the convenience is not worth it-now if it were a 5-6 oz. can, then I probably would think it was a reasonable trade off. Just a note-the greatly higher amount of chicken you get in this flavor vs. the pot pie watery flavor is considerable.
 Most cats won't eat this November 9, 2008

My cat turned up her nose at this, as did my neighbor's cats when I gave them the rest of the case. Don't buy this...
