Delectables lickable cat treats have been a lifesaver for my picky cats. I give the Delectables squeezeup lickable cat treat or the bisque varieties on top of Kirkland Signature wet food, and they devour it. Temptations creamy puree lickable cat treats are great too, and Luvsome lickable cat treats are a hit for special occasions. I love that lickable treats for cats are soft and flavorful, perfect for rewarding or training. My cats get so excited they practically jump for joy when I bring out the packets.
Performatrin Ultra cat food has been amazing for my two indoor cats. I feed the limited potato & salmon and the chicken stew cat food. Ingredients in Performatrin Ultra cat food are impressive high protein, low filler. Hairball issues are noticeably less frequent. I mix in some Pure Cravings wet food for variety. Chewy is my primary source, sometimes Amazon if I need a quick refill. Price is higher than standard brands, but coat health, energy, and digestion make it feel worth it. Definitely a super premium choice I’d keep using long-term.
Same here! My cat goes crazy for the Against the Grain canned cat food, especially the Mango Tango flavor. The texture is soft and juicy without being overly watery. I like that it’s grain free and made in the USA. I read that the brand hasn’t had any major cat food recall recently, which gives me peace of mind. Compared to Kirkland Signature wet food, this one just feels fresher. I usually order from Chewy since the Petco Against the Grain cat food section is often sold out.

ORIJEN TIMELINE: May 2025 to November 2025! 📅
My complete Orijen experience:
May (Weeks 1-2): Bought Orijen Original (85% poultry/fish). Started mixing 25% with premium brand I was using. My cat Max was VERY interested in the strong meat smell! He ate it eagerly from day one! Transition was smooth with no digestive upset.
May (Weeks 3-4): Increased to 50/50 mix. His energy exploded! He was running around like crazy, playing constantly! I’ve never seen him this active before! His coat already looked shinier and felt softer to the touch.
June: Full switch to 100% Orijen. His poops became tiny and barely smelly (sign of high digestibility). His muscle definition became really noticeable you could feel firm muscles under his fur. Weight stayed perfect but body composition clearly improved.
July: Vet checkup she was AMAZED! Asked what I was feeding because his body condition was “textbook perfect”. His teeth looked cleaner than usual. She said whatever I’m doing, keep it up. Bloodwork came back flawless.
August-September: Tried Six Fish formula for variety he loved it equally. His coat became incredibly soft and shiny, almost glossy. People kept commenting on how beautiful he looked. His whiskers even seemed thicker and stronger.
October-November (Current): Seven months in and he’s in peak condition. Lean, muscular, energetic, healthy. His eyes are bright and clear, coat stunning. I rotate between Original and Six Fish monthly for nutritional variety.
Monthly cost: About $115-130 for one cat. Yes it’s expensive but he’s THRIVING. Worth it. 💪💚
OMG THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!! 🙏 I’ve been SO curious about Darwin’s but scared to commit because of the price! The subscription model makes me nervous too – what if my cat hates it?? But raw feeding seems so much healthier! I’m definitely ordering a trial now! Fingers crossed my picky boy approves! Which protein did you start with?? Need recommendations! 😊💙
