This is not a review of Whiskas products in general, but specifically of 'Oh so fishy' pouches.
With two geriatric, fussy cats sometimes buying a food that they enjoy can be a bit of a problem and in the summer their left over food becomes smelly and attracts flies - not pleasant to come home to at all. You can imagine my delight at finding a food that they enjoy so much that within seconds there is not a trace of it left in their bowls.
__________Pack claims______________
Whiskas "Oh so.......Fishy" is a new catfood which contains whole pieces of fish with just enough jelly or gravy to keep it succulent.
Your cat will notice the difference straight away. It'sso deeply delicious your cat will polish off every last morsel and then ask for more.
Absolutely true - I don't know what addictive substance they put in this food but every mouthful gets demolished in record time and there are definite loud meows for more every time.....
___________What do you get for your money?________
In each pack there are 12 pouches each containing 85grams of food. There are four different flavours (3 packs of each); tuna, sardine, salmon and cod. All contain meat and animal derivatives, fish and fish derivatives including a minimum of 14% whole pieces of fish. All varieties contain minerals vitamin E and permitted colourants- Why do cats need to have their food coloured at all? Mine seem to enjoy a quite indiscriminate variety of naturally caught food in an array of colours given half a chance and I do believe they have a limited colour vision anyway.
______________Open the Box____________
No broken nails or stabbing myself with a sharp knife with this pack. A handy slot in the top and perforations in the top and down one side make it easy to open. Not much strength required either it rips very easily and then the flap can be ripped off to provide easy acces the the packs inside.
PAUSE...... Wibbly Wobbly has noticed that I have a box of his favourite food. I will need to feed him AGAIN or he will not stop making an awful wailing noise beside his bowl..
RESUME... Blissful silence.....The pouch opened easily; a little red arrow on either side of the top of the pack indicating where to tear no strength required here either. Even someone with poor eyesight could easily locate where to tear.
More importantly the food came out easily. Not like some pouches where more is left in the pack than gets into the feeding bowl.
-----------------Smell----------------- Quite a pleasant aroma as catfoods go not overpoweringly fishy. Not like some other catfoods which make you want to evacuate the kitchen as soon as they have gone into the bowls.
__________APPEARANCE_____________
A Pleasant pinky colour with fish pieces clearly visible. Solid looking in texture not at all runny or watery.
__________TASTE________________
Now come on .....There are some things that I will do to give an accurate review, Sorry tasting cat food is not one of them ...Well not unless someone is willing to pay me vast sums of money.. Then I suppose I could be persuaded.
So I am afraid you are going to have to rely on my translation of my cats' language.....
"Feed me. Feed ME... FEED ME....FEED ME NOW!"
"IF YOU THINK I AM EATING THAT YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING.ITS LIKE POO. I'M GOING TO BURY IT"
"GIVE ME THE FISHY STUFF THAT YOU ARE HIDING IN THE CUPBOARD - THERE'S NO WAY I'M EATING THAT MUCK WHEN I KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT IN THERE"
"THATS RIGHT - PUT THAT POO IN THE BIN AND WASH MY BOWL OUT PROPERLY"
"HURRY UP! HURRY UP! OH I CAN SMELL IT COMING HURRY UP now!
"Oh yum yum............"
"That was verrrry tasty. I'll just wash my paws and face and have a little snooze and make room for some more...."
So from the empty bowls and my sketchy understanding of cat talk I think you will gather that this is very very tasty indeed.
________How much do you feed?__________
It is recommended that you feed 3 - 4 pouches a day so at nearly £4.00 for a pack of 12 pouches you will see that this is not going to be your cheapest option. Beware; don't start feeding your cats on this unless you can afford to do so regularly as it really does seem to be addictive! My cats eat about 7 pouches a day between them that's about 4 packs of 12 per week.
___________Where to buy/ cost_____________
Most supermarkets seem to sell this. I have been buying mine in Morrisons recently as it is on offer at £2 98 as opposed to the regular price of nearly £4.00
Do I recommend? Well if you can afford it, yes definitely. Do my cat's recommend, They won't eat anything else now unless they have stolen it from our plates when our backs are turned. A real winner with Wibbly Wobbly and Grotty.
Must end now they have woken up again and you know what they are saying....... Feed me....Feed ME.....FEED ME.....FEED ME NOW.
Advantages: Happy Kitties Disadvantages: Expensive compared to some!
...her Whiskas, at that time Whiskas were the only ones to offer special tinned cat food for kittens, I tried her with Iams dried food but it made her sick, so Whiskas it was then.
Clever advertising along with help and advice from Nutritionists and Veterinary Surgeon’s has helped Whiskas remain the success they are today.
They have kept up to date with the needs and wants of all kinds of cats, from the tiny kitten to the more mature cats, no ... ...visit.
All cans of Whiskas cat food now come with a pull back aluminium lid which is great as it saves you using the same tin opener, the same tin opener that some would maybe use to open their own tins of soup etc, probably not too hygienic, I’ve always tended to keep the cats stuff well away from us humans food products as I am too very fussy if you know what I mean.
The supermeat variety looks awful when you open it up, very pale in comparison ...

...Who makes Whiskas?
=================
Whiskas is made by pedigree who have developed their food range with the vets from the Waltham.
Whiskas is probably the most famous brand of cat food and most of us know their advertising tagline of 'eight out of ten cats prefers Whiskas'. Well for a long time my own two cats were the dissenters as they were wholly unimpressed with the usual Whiskas tinned variety though that has changed so read on!
Being ... ...cans of Whiskas to the Cats Protection so it has been well tested by my guests and on the whole it’s a thumbs, or should that be paws, up.
What types of food do Whiskas make?
====================================
The question should be what does Whiskas NOT make? I feel Whiskas were the first brand to diversify and take cat food from being a simple tin to a whole aisle of the supermarket with every eventuality covered. Whether you have a kitten, ...

The tin.
It is a standard cat food tin with a whiskas label showing the name and a cat pictureand the . On the back it has all the feeding instructions and nutritional values. The tin size is 390g. I buy a 12 pack for my now two cats.

I consider this to be good value because my cats don't waste any.

...servile tasks for a cat. Whiskas it is.
And now, worst of all, my kind gentle cat has become a meat-hungry savage. Deep down your cat KNOWS you CAN get that lovely meaty stuff again. Your cat KNOWS that if she makes a fuss, you WILL come running. Ultimately your cat KNOWS it can get what it wants...and it invariably will. ...

Advantages: my cat likes it Disadvantages: price maybe?
Whiskas Complete is a dry cat food for your adult cats and we started feeding our cat Tinker it when he turned about 6 months old, we only used a little bit on top of his other jelly meat Whiskas food to start with as he didnt really like the dry food to begin with, so we kind of weaned him on to it.
Dry food is an important part of a cats diet as it helps them build healthy teeth as it gives them something harder to train their teeth on, which is always helpful when they are hunting. There is also a statement that dry food cleans your cats teeth floating about, though I am not sure how correct this statement really is. However Whiskas Complete kibbles are specially designed to help a cats teeth and better their dental care.
My cat now loves a bit of dry food along with his dinner, it gives your cat a bit of variety on what food ...

Last week, there was an edition to my under-crowded household - a tiny little kitten whom I named Tish (after actress Tish Dean. Funny my dog is named after Nigel Harman...both were on-screen lovers and siblings in EastEnders!). She is gorgeous and provides me with great company! I love her so much, and only want to do what is best for her, so naturally I want to give her the best cat food I can get my hands on! Though do Whiskas pouches do the job?
Whiskas is a company that provides cats and kittens up and down the country with a selection of fine kitty treats for them to indulge in. One product they offer is their Kitten Pouches; packets of wet cat food to meet the needs of your hungry cat. Why did I choose to purchase these though, over other brands such as Felix? They say you should never judge a book by its cover, but I have ...
~*~ Why we bought it ~*~
We have always had cats around the house, we used to always feed them the cheaper economy canned food, that is until we had a problem with the cat we have at the moment. Without going into too much information she had some kind of a problem with her teeth and gums. To cut a long story short she now only has four teeth and the vet recommended we used brand names instead of the cheaper kinds of brand food so we switched to whiskas.
~*~ What is it? ~*~
Whiskas complete is a dry cat food that provides all the nutrients your cat needs. Although you do not need to feed canned food alongside whiskas complete we choose to as that gives our cat more choice as to what she would like each day.
The biscuits come in different shapes. They are either stars, cat heads or nuggets. The nuggets claim to be crunchy ...
