Purina Fancy Feast Petites Braised Chicken Entrée Gourmet Wet Cat Food Pate - (Pack of 12) 2.8 oz. Tubs

My cat favorite food.

My extremely picky cat likes this..even with his med mixed in..thank goodness! Only issue is getting food out of the container, because it's not easy to open.

My cat really likes the fancy feast petites. She eats the whole serving where before with the other cat food I fed her, she’d take a few bites and not eat the rest.

Earlier this year, my cat decided he doesn't drink water anymore out of the blue, at least not regularly. So now he's on part dry food (a high-end brand), part wet food. And he's a finicky one about his food. I've tried at least 50 different wet food options: different brands (some expensive, some not so much like this one), flavours (chicken, various fish, turkey, beef), and textures (mousse, pate, pieces in gravy, shreds in broth, etc). He likes these the most, especially the chicken, salmon, and beef (hates the turkey and tuna/whitefish), and I can get away with adding up to a tablespoon of extra water into each one to make sure he's getting enough water each day. Aside from that, I checked the ingredients - Fancy Feast appears to have improved in recent years. The food smells like cooked ground chicken with gravy as opposed to how wet cat food often smells. He finds it appetizing, and I'm not gagging trying to feed him. Win/win. Tip to opening them more easily: Hold the edge of the tub with one thumb near the pull tab and brace the other end with the fingers on the same hand. Pinch the tab with thumb and forefinger with your other hand and press it toward the top edge while wiggle-pulling toward the other end. Got the technique through trial and error, but adding a little pressure to get the opening started usually does the trick. Once in a while, the lid tears so then I have to resort to slicing around the edge with a knife whilst avoiding the plastic cup. Worth it to keep him happy and hydrated though! I added a video that hopefully demonstrates how I get the lid off fairly easily each time! I hope it helps.

My old cat loves the braised chicken pate. Nice and soft with a good juice (not heavy gravy). These petites are soooooo convenient. No leftovers to refrigerate. Yes they are kinda hard to peel open with fat fingers, but I just slit the side easily with a knife. Not a problem.

This is one of the better choices… not available anymore

The product isn't bad... Just don't expect to get it regularly. This vendor is commonly out of stock. Dealing with a cat who has dietary issues this was a go to until the seller got flaky.

Our cats love these petites........
