Just a heads up for mog owners/feeders who, like me, didn't check the catalogue.

Australian Made balanced dry food for adult cats. Lowest price I can recall. Usual discount price (about monthly) is $15.60. Our tux loves the Salmon, Whitefish & Olive Oil, doesn't mind the Chicken & Turkey & Cranberries, but isn't keen on the Kangaroo & Sweet Potato. Local birds - maggies, currawongs and an occasional crow - like them all.

  Grain free! Ingredients list for the SALMON, WHITEFISH - "poultry meal, peas, lentils, vegetable meal (soy), animal fat (beef and/or poultry), palatants (poultry and beef), beef meal, SALMON meal (finally)…."

  This is junk. Acceptable if you've forgot to order your normal food online and you need to grab something temporarily, but please don't let your cats live off this

  A comparable ingredients list from the Blackhawk ocean food for example: "Fish meal, rice, mackerel meal, tuna meal, oats, peas, chicken fat…"

  Rice being #2 isn't great, but at least 3 of the top 4 ingredients are actually from the ocean unlike fussy cat which doesn't make an appearance until #8 and 3 of the top 4 ingredients are vegetables

    You should write to AAFCO and give them your expert opinion on why their standards need to be better Angry.

    The "fish" aspect is essentially to tell buyers the flavour. What's important for cat health is the chemical/nutritional breakdown of the product, not the source of the protein, fat, etc. Even grain-derived protein is fine for most cats.

    You got one thing precisely correct though - no cat should "live off" dry food alone.

      The flavour added to what is clearly peas, lentils, and chicken and beef by-products, prominently labelled as salmon and whitefish? You know ingredient lists are sorted by content right? Fussy cat might as well be shapes for cats

      You can get much better quality food for not much more money at all, cats will thank you, and you'll notice the difference in what comes out of them. And they actually can live on dry food as long as it's high quality and they have a good source of fresh water to go with it. People who feed their cats this crap though probably don't know that

      Thanks for the tip though mate, I'll be sure to write to AAFCO, The Association of American Feed Control Officials

        They can also "live on" a diet of vermin but as you know (cough) not having a balanced diet will often shorten their lives. I'm sure you follow your cat around to check its water intake but, despite having no evidence (something you'd be very familiar with), I'm also confident that the vast majority of owners don't have a clue whether their pets are getting adequate hydration. Hence MOST will feed them both wet and dry food as recommended by every vet I've encountered. Apparently these vets haven't found any evidence to support your claims about Fussy Cat dry food. Possibly because none exists, possibly because they don't have your undoubted knowledge and experience.

          @Igaf: Yeah, owners couldn't possibly know how much water they're providing to their cats… it must be so hard to you know.. think about how often you're refilling their literal water bowl for them. Do you think the cats are going to the sink and turning the tap on in the night to get a drink or something? Oh I know, maybe you feed your cat whiskas and let it roam outside 90% of the time - yeah, now I understand why you think it's a tough gig

          I don't even know what you're trying to defend here, the extra 15c/100g over feeding something better to your cat who doesn't have a choice in it? Is it SO HARD to look at the ingredients list and think to yourself hmm … Maybe my carnivorous cat should be eating products actually derived from meats than peas and lentils with some flavouring on top. Nah can't come to that conclusion yourself without a peer reviewed study

          Go feed your cat who normally has taste of the wild, blackhawk etc some whiskas and see what comes out the back of them (if it's not thrown up first). There's your peer review. Peace ✌️

            @AngryAlfred: Any good pet owner changes their water at least daily, and I'll bet your teetering house of cards that an infinitessimal percentage of those bother to check the water level when they do and wouldn't have a clue what amount is "normal" anyway.

            I see you're making the same uninformed mistake that your linked reviewer has made, although he makes even more motherhood statements without providing evidence. Time you did some reading about the chemistry of cat food absorption. Cats in the wild do need meat to survive but the simple fact is that clever humans have developed products which meet their physiological and nutritional needs - often by adding things like amino acids (taurine) and other micro-nutrients. Hence the importance of food standards. Now it's possible that some cats may have been clever enough to leave their prey to dry out in the sun so they didn't need to hunt as often but I'm inclined to think that human developed, balanced, dry food is a novel concept to them. That's the stuff you earlier suggested all cats can exclusively survive on, although you seem to think that only a few (as yet unnamed) brands will do the job.

            It's a small(ish) sample size but our latest tux is an ex street cat who delighted in rewarding us with freshly despatched rats and mice - often fully intact, soemtimes not so - for a few months as he settled in to the easy life. His way of saying thanks no doubt. He loves his Aldi tins (previously enjoyed some pricier Fussy Cat varieties also), but these deal biscuits, and various treats/alternatives, also form a critical part of his diet. Apart from a litte tartar on one tooth (since cleaned) he's a very healthy, happy mog according to vets but what would they know?
