    My boy is super fussy with his food but he loves this. He wouldn't normally try new foods but this one he did immediately and loved it. Also it's great ingredients for cats, excellent quality.

  • "my cats all agree"

    'This is yummy... and we like the stable mates South Pacific Fish, and Beef with Sth Blue Whiting'. I believe Ziwi steam and dried is the first food of any kind they all have agreed on! I buy the small bags because my cats like 'super fresh' best.
