(More customer reviews)After reading up on cat nutrition, we ordered some of this and another high-end brand. Our 2 young cat brothers are used to Nutro and Friskies wet food, which makes up 50% of their diet (the rest dry).
It looks similar in color and texture to ground beef, and is very sticky, like ground beef (but I'm guessing it's cooked).
catinfo.org said Cowboy Cookout is formulated to mimic real mouse. Well, must be working, because our one cat took a half-can-sized slab, and ran with it dangling from his mouth like a trophy as I chased him around the house. Amazingly the huge chunk didn't fall apart until I caught him and he started to struggle. He kept doing this, I had to break it up so it doesn't stick together. So two thumbs up from him.
The other cat wasn't a big fan, perhaps cause he's never had real beef (instead of beef byproducts?) - he kept stopping and looking around for something better to eat. He eventually finished his half-can, but took about 10 minutes to do so (during which I have to fight off his brother from stealing it).
So make sure your cats like real beef, and the sticky consistency seems to make them take chunks from the bowl and eat it on the floor, which is messy. They don't do this with other wet foods. I will probably buy a chicken-based from Merrick next time.
Edit: Changed to 5 stars, cause the only downside is your cat may not like beef, and I noticed it's the only can I've seen that doesn't appear to have a plastic (BPA) liner - bravo for that!
