Shrinking cat food sachets

I totally agree with the above!! I am rather annoyed/dismayed that pouches occupy so much more space on the supermarket shelves than tins. Pouches are being pushed relentlessly by retailers - something to do with profits I should imagine. One of my friends says that her cat refuses to eat any cat food that comes out of a tin, yet if she offers the same brand and flavour from a pouch then her cat scoffs the lot. Maybe the tin taints the food somehow while the pouches don't. On the rare occasion I get pouches for my three cats they seem to love it more. They aren't going to get used to it though as I am not going to pay over the odds just because of the packaging.

It seems everytime I go to buy cat food there is less choice of tinned and more pouches. Pouches work out quite a bit dearer although my cats often refuse to eat tinned

All this "my cat is a fussy eater and will only eat pouches etc" is rubbish. If they are hungry they will eat anything thats put down for them. Take a stray thats going through bins etc, its not holding out for a pouch is it?
Cats also when their feral and not so also eat mice/rats and birds and other things.So there not that fussy either. These are not a different species from a pouch eater.
To anyone who thinks there cat will only eat pouches, take it from me they will eat tinned food. Get them a tin from a supermarket and when hunger kicks in and they see you wont give in then they will eat it no problem.

You've never met my cats. They will refuse to eat tinned food for days. There is only so many times you can pick it up and put it down again later in this hot weather and I end up throwing so much away it is often just easier to buy pouches.

Mind you often they won't eat some of the pouches either

There's some new-ish Sheba pouches out in packs of 6 x 50g. I bought a pack on special offer when they first came out (£1.50?). My lot LOVED them, they cleared their plates which is rare. (Normal price is £2-ish?). Now, I hate wasting money on expensive food which they leave, or even cheap food they won't touch, so a pack of something they love is a miracle indeed. Anyone with fussy cats watch out for Sheba 'Fresh Choice' mini pouches. But only on special offer!

If they ever stopped making these, my cat would starve! :rotfl: He never finished his food totally before, but with these he just scoffs them down, he loves them! Once when we ran out, I find a original Sheba pouch lying around, and he just turned his nose up at it! I don't know why they should differ so much in flavour being the same manufacturer, but they appear to?
