Okay, so, my cat, Mittens, is a super picky eater. Seriously, it’s a daily struggle. I’ve tried, like, a million different brands, and most of the time, she just turns her nose up and walks away. What a diva, right? But I gotta keep my furry friend happy and healthy, so the search continued. I’d heard some buzz about Sheba, so I decided to give the Sheba wet cat food a shot. Here’s how it went down.
The Experiment Begins
First, I went to the store. There are so many cat food options, its crazy! I finally found the Sheba section, and, wow, they have a ton of flavors. I grabbed a variety pack – you know, just to cover all my bases. I picked up some of the “Cuts in Gravy” and some of the “Pate” options, because, why not test it all out? The packaging was pretty nice, easy to open, no struggling with those annoying pull tabs.
Mittens’s Verdict
Time for the moment of truth. I opened a can of the “Chicken Cuts in Gravy.” The smell wasn’t too overpowering, which is a plus for me. I put it in Mittens’s bowl, and…wait for it…she actually started eating it! No sniffing and walking away, no dramatic stares. She went straight for it and cleaned the bowl. I was shocked, honestly.
- Day 1: Chicken Cuts in Gravy – HUGE success.
- Day 2: Salmon Pate – She ate it, but not as enthusiastically as the chicken.
- Day 3: Turkey Cuts in Gravy – Another win! She loved it.
- Day 4: Beef Pate- She took a long time to eat.
I continued this experiment for about a week, trying different flavors and textures. I noticed that she definitely preferred the “Cuts in Gravy” over the “Pate.” She ate most of the pate, but it took her longer, and sometimes she’d leave a little bit behind. The gravy ones? Gone in minutes.
My Final Thoughts
Overall, I’m super impressed with Sheba wet cat food. It’s one of the few brands that Mittens consistently enjoys. It is a bit pricier than some other brands, but for me, it’s worth it to see her eating happily. Plus, the ingredients seem pretty decent, no weird fillers or anything. The portion sizes are also good, not too much, not too little.
So, if you have a picky eater like mine, I’d say give Sheba a try. It might just be the answer to your cat food woes. You might have to experiment with the different flavors and textures to find your cat’s favorite, but based on my experience, it’s worth the effort. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I hear a certain someone meowing for her dinner…and I’m guessing it’s Sheba time!
