Cats seem to not notice this in their fancy feast. I have several mixed breeds. Himalayan, Polydactyl, calico, main coon, tabby. The Poly is also part main coon and he eats anything. So this was a lip smacker for him. The Himalayan was more sensitive to its ways...the calico eats around it first then gives in and eats it as well. The Main coon whines about everything but he shuts up when this is in front of him. Another lip smacker. Good stuff. Coats all look much better and allergies seem to have subsided for all of them.
