• Fussy Cat Grain Free Adult Wet Cat Food 400g cans $1.60, save $1.15. Regularly reduced for multiple buys but usually @ ~$1.85+/can iirc.
  About 4-5 serves per can, so 80c per day (not including any dry food).
• 6 varieties to choose from.
• Note that cats and dogs both need amino acids for heart health. These often come from grains (only learned this today) so you might need to supplement your cat's diet with some grain dry food or other. Ask your vet.

Our cat likes all the Fussy Cat GF varieties bar the kangaroo. Also likes the Aldi Sylvester "mince" varieties (again bar the roo) which are $1.65/can from memory.

  Our cats have never eaten any of the "big tins" over the lifetime - so frustrating as it'd save a lot of money and waste packaging over the sachets!

    We had a cat which would only eat Snappy Tom (of the typical cans available).

      Ah but fos wasn't talking about your common garden variety poison, just that very special "toxic" strain. Our tux loves his toxic poison.

  This product is complete and balanced so they will get all the nutrients they need, including taurine. Cats are carnivores – they don't benefit from grains.

    They don't benefit from vegetable fillers or low grade meat, either, and consumers don't benefit from their lack of detailed ingredient lists on the cans. In fact, the pet food industy has so little regulation that I don't buy Australian, and I recommend that if you do, to swap the foods up so you can be sure your cat or dog gets the best nutrition it can.

      Cat's can survive on much lower grade mice/rat "meat" and roughage than even the lowest grade human consumption meat, although obviously high fat content should be avoided. Interestingly cats will often leave certain rodent innards untouched. These products are far better balanced. Vets usually recommend a mix of wet and dry food (some of which derive their nutrients from grains).

      Both the Aldi Sylvester (made in Thailand) and Fussy Cat (made in Au) can varieties (claim to) conform to AAFCO standards. They have ingredients and typical analyses listed on the cans, much like human products do. FC is also a member of PFIAA.

      Swapping foods around for variety (eg the occasional chicken neck) is fine for some cats but others can't (or won't) tolerate it. You'll quickly discover if youir mog has a delicate system (or hairball), sometimes in the litter tray but more often courtesy of the vom-bombs they leave on carpets and floors.

        I can't agree with much of what you've said, PFIAA is probably the biggest problem that Australian pet owners have, one of the ABC consumer shows went through their standards for pet food some years ago, they are absolutely horrendous.

        Add to that is that vets have about two hours of lectures on small animal nutrition compared to many hours of lectures on feed lot animals. I still remember the University of Sydney whereby they had to review their sponsorship rules. At one point they had a Hills sales rep give the nutritional lectures. Then there was the scandal whereby the Vet student did a study on pet food…

        Cats do require food high in fat and protein, I am able to observe the difference, particularly with one of my current cats who has idiopathic epilepsy, which is of course a neurological disorder. Put her on crap food, and she will fit, put her on a diet which is high in protein and fat, and she's fine. I will agree that cats most likely can tolerate grain and lower class meats, but they won't thrive on them.

        Finally, I have had many cats, it's important to get them used to different brands early and do it slowly, then they will be fine.

          @saveye: PFIAA members are at least accountable, unlike OS manufacturers eg Aldi Sylvester.

          Most cats may get used to different brands but adopted street cats for example may have delicate stomachs. How do I know? Direct experience and veterinary advice.

          I wasn't talking about grain foods but protein and carbs etc derived from grains - which is the basis of many dried cat foods and which is not harmful to the vast majority of domestic cats.

            @Igaf: Yes I know that street cats will only enjoy a small variety of foods, I didn't know why. The person who mentioned it thought it may be because they are more cautious of things that may be poisonous but your explanation makes sense. People I know who feed street cats put the various foods together, including some wet with dry, they seem to tolerate it better.

            Not harmful, as long as it's not their main form of nutrition is meat, but I believe good quality meat allows them to thrive.
