Applaws cat treats have been a gamechanger for training. My cats love applaws chicken puree cat treats and tuna puree cat treats, and even the freezedried cat treats are a huge hit. I crumble a little of the applaws cat treat whole salmon loin over their Kirkland Signature kibble or mix with Pure Cravings wet food for a highvalue reward. The applaws lickable cat treats, especially the grainfree variety pack, are fun and easy to feed. Knowing the applaws natural cat treats are highprotein and simple makes treat time stressfree and healthy.
I tried the Evolve chicken and rice cat food for my chubby orange boy, and he really enjoyed it. His coat looked healthier within a month. The Evolve classic crafted wet cat food is another one he enjoys, especially the turkey formula. I saw old reddit cat food evolve threads mentioning recalls, but that seems to have been resolved ages ago. Still, I always check batch numbers. I usually buy the bigger bags because I found a place selling bulk evolve cat food online. It’s cheaper than Chewy for me.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first because I’d never heard of OrgaNOMics, but the Turkey, Duck & Chicken Dinner Wet Cat Food surprised me. My senior cat can be picky, but she lapped it up like a kitten. I love that the formula is grain free but balanced with real meats. Compared to Nature’s Domain, it feels less greasy and smells more natural. It’s also gentle on her stomach, which is a big win for me. Definitely buying more cans soon!
The affordability makes 9 Lives practical option for people on very tight budgets or feeding multiple cats. Not everyone can afford mid-range brands. Having very cheap option ensures cats get fed when finances are severely constrained. Better than not affording to keep pets at all. Practical necessity matters even if nutrition isn’t optimal.
PRICE COMPARISON (because I’m obsessed with value!): 💰
Farmina N&D: $3.50-$4.00 per pound
Orijen: $4.50-$5.00 per pound
Wellness CORE: $2.80-$3.20 per pound
Blue Buffalo: $2.50-$3.00 per pound
Royal Canin: $3.00-$3.80 per poundSo Farmina is definitely premium-priced but not the MOST expensive. The quality-to-price ratio is actually excellent. My cat eats less because it’s nutrient-dense, so bags last longer. When you calculate cost-per-feeding instead of cost-per-pound, it’s very competitive. 💚🐾
Three years with Tiki Cat and counting! Started using it when my cat was 4, she’s now 7 and in peak condition. Her annual vet exams are always perfect ideal weight, excellent bloodwork, healthy teeth and gums, beautiful coat. My vet literally said “whatever you’re feeding her, keep doing it.” I rotate through different Tiki Cat flavors to keep things interesting: Koolina Luau, Hana Grill, Puka Puka Luau, and Hookena Luau are in regular rotation. She’s never gotten bored with the brand. Monthly cost is around $65 for one cat eating twice daily. Best investment in her long term health I could make! 🐾✨
