I am the proud owner of 5 cats and whenever a new type of canned food is tried in our household, all five of the kitties try the new food and then, after having tried the food at least four time, the kitties hold a meeting with me and then tell me how they vote for the new dish.
This review is of Purina Fancy Feast Elegant Medleys Tastemakers Yellowfin Tuna and Shrimp with Wild Rice in Gravy Cat Food. I, the owner of the group, initially saw this new offering from Fancy Feast in PetsMart. Occasionally, I make a run in there to pick up a few items to supplement what we get from Amazon. I like to buy a few cans of a new food and introduce it to the group instead of buying an entire case from Amazon and taking the chance that it will get a "thumbs down" vote and then I will be stuck with a whole case of something that no one likes. Oddly enough, even though I have five tasters, it almost always happens that everyone likes a given food, or everyone dislikes it. Rarely to I chance upon something that gets a positive vote from one or two and a negative vote from the others. I was quite hopeful when I initially purchased this Yellowfin Tastemaker as the kitties all DO LIKE the plain Yellow Fin Tuna with nothing added to spice it up. However, shrimp is not always a favorite, so I had to wait and see.
So, about a month ago the kitties had their first can and scarfed it all down, right now, right away. Hah! All you cat parents out there know this is not a sure thing. So, a week later, can number two was given...and inhaled, then on two successive nights the other two cans were given...and every one ate it up and sat around smacking their lips. So, time for a vote:
Gabriella, the Lady in Charge, age 3, stated that it was FINE, but gave not other details. Trinity, THE LEADING MALE, age 4, feigned a fair amount of disinterest and noted that it was OK, but he would prefer variety. He would not make this and "every day" meal for himself. Then the twins, Wisdom and Mercy, age 1, little ladies popped in and gushed about this food and fell all over each other giving it "Rave Reviews!" Both LOVE the Gravy and are Delighted with the Tuna, like the crunchy Rice, and state that "here even the Shrimp is good." ("We usually do not like Shrimp at all, at all. We do not even like Fancy Feast Fish and Shrimp!"Fancy Feast Gourmet Cat Food, Flaked Fish & Shrimp Feast, Flaked 3-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24) They are a bit spoiled. Finally, Mr. Yellow Kitty, Grand Male, age 10, weighed in very thoughtfully and stated that he liked this because the Tuna was not overwhelming, the shrimp added an understated taste explosion, the rice was good fiber for the older set, and "He especially likes the generous amount of Gravy." "I COULD eat it every night if I needed to do so.) (Wouldn't it be a dream to find six or seven varieties that THEY would eat night after night after night!!!!...an owner's dream come true!)
The kitties stated that IF POSSIBLE, they would give this four and a half stars instead of five because not everyone would eat this everynight. Both Gabby and Trinity made it clear that about twice a week was all they could handle of this. "A bit too fishy" they state. But their lack of enthusiasm is trounched by the other three who are VERY FOND of this.
So there is the vote: two who like it OK and three who put it on the FAV LIST. And the kitties, Gabriella, Trinity, Wisdom, Mercy and Yellow Kitty say a big "thank you" for listening to their opinions. They feel like "they are the ones down there in the food bowls" and state "We ALWAYS give our HONEST OPINION." So, thank you.
