Cats in The Kitchen, Kitty Gone Wild with Wild Salmon Au Jus Cat Food, 6oz Can (Pack of 24)

This is an unusual product. Wonderful paté combined with big whole pieces of salmon. One of my cats loves it. One won't eat it. Is your cat a confirmed whole fish carnivore. Wiley LOVES it. Parsnip no way.

Very nutritious product that my 2 cats have consistently enjoyed along with a varied diet. Small chunks of fish in a slightly jellied broth. Worth the price given its ingredients.

Both my cats absolutely love this food (and all the flavors of Cats in the Kitchen that I've tried). I've been feeding it for about 6 months, along with Wellness Core grain-free dry food. (Before that they were eating EVO wet and dry food, but I had concerns over the fact that EVO had been bought by Proctor and Gamble, who have a history of ruining good pet food brands once they take over.) I did a lot of research to find a wet food that was both grain free and carrageenan free (carrageenan is a bulking agent that has been linked to GI issues.) All the Cats in the Kitchen flavors are both grain- and carrageenan-free, with no animal byproducts. The food looks and smells very high quality (does not have a strong smell), and although most of the food is shredded meat or pate consistency, you can see some chunks of seafood in the seafood flavors. I haven't had any issues at all with stomach upset. I've noticed that my overweight 9-year-old cat has lost a few pounds since switching their food and is much more energetic and playful. It's definitely a bit pricey, but in this case you get what you pay for.

For those of us who have purchased Weruva brand canned cat food, you've no doubt come to realize that there are a wealth of flavor options, all under different "catchy" flavor names such as this "The Kitchen, Kitty Gone Wild" flavor. Sometimes it can become quite confusing, especially if you're in the process of trying to find a particular flavor that your cats will enjoy and gravitate to. For most of the available Weruva flavors, my cats just didn't care for them. We have 4 indoor (formerly feral) cats that have become quite spoiled, and finding the right mix of flavors for them has become a tiring effort, to say the least. However, there is one flavor that my cats go bonkers over, and that is Weruva's "Mideast Feast" (look it up), which our 4 felines enthusiastically inhale, and that food doesn't last long in their cat bowls. Another Weruva flavor that they've really taken a liking to is this "The Kitchen, Kitty Gone Wild" blend. When I first served them that Kitty Gone Wild flavor, they seemingly didn't take to it. But what I did then is prior to serving them this flavor, I would mash up the food even more because there are large chunks of fish in there. Cutting the fish down into very small pieces and mixing it properly with the gravy, did the trick. My cats - all 4 of 'em - now lick the bowls clean with this flavor. So between Weruva's "Mideast Feast" and this "The Kitchen, Kitty Gone Wild" blend, my cats have found two really good foods that they look forward to. So I'm giving this flavor 5 stars. Keep in mind that nothing is "absolute" when it comes to pet food reviews. Why? Because each animal is different, with varying tastes as much as we humans have. Just because some pets may hate and ignore a particular brand/flavor, this can be offset by other pets who love that flavor. So who's wrong then? Your mileage may vary...

Cats love the product. But many cans were damaged and destroyed and tossed into my box. Leaking. So I’m not sure what happened to the sealed cases they typically come in. But this shipment looked like it was opened and ran over by a truck!

To find a healthy food that cats aged 3 to 18 years old all continuously love is a miracle. I feel as though I’ve tried every canned food available and never before found one that all three keep craving for. My cats may try one of the new foods and eat it all and look happy. I go buy some more and realize it is only when it is a new entree that they are excited and the second or third time around they try to cover it or don’t touch it. Plus each cat has his and her own preference of flavors and consistency in canned food. I closely follow my vet’s recommendations for kibble which is specific to each cat, three times a day in three different rooms. The canned is for variety one, two or three times a day. Canned isn’t cheap but it gives them moisture and I like the idea of more than one food for flavor and nutrition. Three year old boy rarely even bothers to smell a new one and has eaten only a few types. Five year old girl is more particular and she may take a lick or two to try about half of the offers, then may throw up even very expensive foods, never this one. My 18 year old is on total prescription foods but I do cheat very, very occasionally and he unfortunately loves it a lot. We have tried all of Weruva’s products besides every other brand name and flavor in the stores and only my dogs get happy when there is a full bowl of wet wasted cat food sitting around. The last annual vet examine they all were perfect weights, looked strong and healthy. The 18 year old is pretty active as well so I highly recommend this Weruva Kittie Goes Wild Salmon au jus to make life easier and have happy cats.

I feed over 50 cats every week, including 5 of my own, who are really picky. The rest are homeless cats, so less picky, but still not always easy to please. I feed them Weruva BFF Salmon Au Jus, as well as Weruva Tuna & Chicken, and Weruva Tuna & Salmon. Since it is a bit expensive, I use it as a generous topping on top of some other quality wet foods that aren't quite as popular. Not only are they grain-, starch-, and Carrageenan-free, but they really stick to natural ingredients. And they use wild salmon, which means there are far fewer toxins and contaminants than farmed salmon. Also wild salmon has more of the healthy omega-3 fatty acids, and fewer of the less healthy omega-6 fatty acids, of which we (both cats and people) typically get too much in our diets. I buy the Weruva 10 ounce cans by the case, to get the lowest possible cost per ounce. Still a little pricey for my budget, so I only use it as a special topping, but worth it.

So you know what type of cats I am dealing with: One of my 4 cats will gobble anything up, she was a wild (but tame) cat for the first few years of her life, hunting around the property. She became a housecat at about age 5 and she still retains that "eat anything" mentality. She will eat the "Kitty Gone Wild", but she does tend to lick AROUND the obvious fish pieces in the can, which speaks volumes to me since she is a wild girl at heart and will munch on just about everything. (She is 20 years old now, and still doing awesome, which I attribute to a healthy diet) If she is really hungry, which is usually the first meal of the day, she will eat the fish chunks, but usually she leaves it and waits for the other cats to leave their food. The other 3 cats are not picky, they are used to raw food. Although this is not raw food, I got it because I was looking for something additional to give them, to diversify their diet. They like the "Fowl Ball", and all 3 of the Tuna flavors a lot! The problem is with the "Kitty Gone Wild" flavor, that it looks good since it has pieces of fish in it, but it smells horrid. They will stick their nose up at it if they have other food or are not super hungry. So I will not purchase that type again, the smell is absolutely gross and smells spoiled when it is freshly open too, which I cant handle. If it is left out for an hour it smells so bad that I had to light an incense even to go into the kitchen to throw it all away. There is no putting it in a trash can either, unless you take the trash out immediately! I genuinely gagged at the smell but thought maybe the kitties like that -- but no. I am used to raw food too, so this was surprisingly gross to me, its a very hard NO for this type. I am on the fence with this brand because of the terrible smell of the one type. I got 3 cases, so I will mix it in here and there.. but the smell is so bad with "Kitty Gone Wild" that I am hesitant to try other types, even though they seems to like all 3 tuna flavors and the "Fowl Bowl", it is not good to give them tuna all the time.... So, I doubt I will invest in more of this brand, but it was worth a try. Werva, please fix this so that its palatable to the cats that eat everything! You all must know how horrid it smells manufacturing it, and if you do not know - then something must be going wrong down the line, which really makes me leery of this food. Back to the drawing board for me!
