Advantages: High Quality

Disadvantages: Price

Picture the scene, I had just sat down after a long hard day with a hot cup of coffee. I stretched out and ouch! A sudden pain in my foot. Hot coffee went flying everywhere and a small bundle of fur went racing out of the room terrified, his game of catch the toe didn't go quite as intended.
Shadow is the original scaredy cat and avoided me all the next day, it took months of being quiet and gentle to get him to trust me and I felt really guilty at scaring him off so when I was in ASDA that night I decided to get him a treat to say sorry.
I picked up the pouches of feline fayre because they were going cheap on the ASDA rollback. The standard poches were 28p or 4 for a pound and the vitamin enriched pouches were down from 49p to 28p. We tried two types.



Simply Chicken Fillets & Surimi in Jelly
==========================
This was the more expensive product normally retailing at 49p for an 85g sachet. It is a vitamin enriched complete meal.
When I opened the sachet, I took a sniff. It smelled a lot like the tins of chicken in white sauce (and made me want to go buy some of that for me), not at all like cat food. When I put it into the bowl, the quality was apparent. It contained small pieces of thinly shredded chicken with a couple of larger lumps of surimi in a very pale beige jelly. It looked good enough for human consumption, but I left the taste test to the cat. He went crazy when I let him smell the pouch, and proceded to lick the jelly off to get at the chunks of meat. He obviously loved it.



Simply Seafood Platter in Jelly
=====================
When I smelled this one, it had a lovely fishy smell, not like normal cat food again. When I put it in the bowl, large chunks of sardines were apparent with their silvery skins shining through the aspic jelly. It didn't look appetising to human eyes, but the cat went wild for it and finished it in record time. This cat food contains 60% real fish, unlike a lot of comercially available wet foods which contain only 5% meat or fish.



My Opinion
========
I was really impressed with the quality of this cat food. At 49p a sachet, the vitamin enriched one is out of my normal budget but I will continue to buy the seafood platter on occasion as a treat. A quick google for this product also told me that it was well regarded in the cat world with people talking praising it on message boards.
