We had a cat develop a kidney stone, with urinary problems, and the Vet claims it was from the poor ingredients in some dry cat food. He wanted to put her on a special diet with a Science Diet special blend for Urinary Tract and then onto one of their regular formula kibble for life. That seemed a little useless because we were feeding the cats some decent kibble to begin with like Purina One. We did a search and found that it was true that a lot of filler in most dry cat food was grain and that is hard for cats to process. The diet we found involved a home made cat food of grinding up some rabbit or chicken and adding some vitamins. Tried it and it worked but it was a mess to make, rabbit is not cheap or easy to find and it takes up a lot of freezer space. Back to another search and a viable alternative seemed to be canned cat food, with some limitations, and a grain free kibble. The canned food doesn’t have as much fillers and the main ones for us are poultry, fish & meats varieties in pâté or gravy form. That’s what the cats are on now and the kidney/urinary problem is gone, their coats are nicer, their urine is less now because they don’t have to consume so much water to process the grain feed and they really seem to like what they’re eating. We feed them Friskies & 9-lives in the cans and Blue Buffalo Wilderness, Merrick Before Grain, Felidae or Taste of the Wild in dry food. The dry food is getting pricier, the bags are getting smaller and the free shipping deals are disappearing so it’s more of a challenge now to get a deal but when we do we buy extra. Can’t say enough about how well this new diet seems to be working and any saved trip to a Vet pays for a lot of food.
As long as Amazon keeps giving deals on this we’ll keep buying it, the cats will keep eating it and that’s worth 5 stars… in my opinion. We have Subscribe & Save on some but that’ll probably disappear soon since it’s heavy to ship and it’s recently disappeared on some of the bagged food or the price has gone up significantly. I’m posting this same review to every cat food we purchased rather than editing each to fit the particular brand.

What we’re doing is based on the information provided by Lisa A. Pierson, DVM on Making Cat Food (catinfo.org) and she is of the opinion that cats need the bones which makes the grinding process more difficult. We still feed them some kibble because feeding 7 cats, plus some strays, gets pretty expensive. It’s a shame packaging is getting smaller and prices do nothing but remain the same or go up. We purchase the Merrick and Wild Buffalo grain free dry foods and the bags are now down to 11 lbs. each. However, when doing the math the canned food is still less expensive per serving. Thanks for your comments.

|Cats wait at the door when a bag comes home…..,
I periodically re-research the state of cat foods to check whether Taste of the Wild is still comparable to the best available brands and it’s held steady among the more expensive brands for several years (Innova Evo, Orijen, Wellness Core, etc.) Recently, I did more research and found that wet food/raw frozen food/raw homemade food is the best option for healthy kitties, NOT any kind of dry processed food (although grain free is still better than other substandard brands). However, dry food is still the most convenient for early morning automatic feedings, short trips away from home, and having a backup supply.
This food, both this and the other available flavor, has been fine for the cats. They think it’s tasty, don’t barf it up (only one cat has issues and it’s from scarfing his food in two minutes flat, not the food itself), and it keeps their coats healthy. Their weight seems stable (although the two fat cats stay fat from stealing food and human leftovers), energy levels fine (for an animal that sleeps 16hrs/day), and they’re not eating scary junk (which is what I now think of the Iams/Eukanuba they ate before I went grain-free). Handling the food isn’t bad, it smells like cat food, but not overwhelmingly gross (some dry kibble can be strongly odorous). The price point is the best plus for me for a dry food.
Regarding other posts about unhappy cats… GRADUALLY introduce a new food. If your animal notices that there’s something different or just refuses to eat, you’re probably doing it too fast.
Also, I’m not that concerned about the ethoxyquin issue that someone else pointed out (that particular poster is also talking about dog food forums too). Many manufacturers claim that it gets eliminated from the high heat (heavy processing that makes dry food so much unhealthier for cats in general) and others claim that all non-human consumption “ocean fish” get treated with ethoxyquin under US law which dissipates over time, yadda yadda, etc. Basically, there’s a lot of talk about it and not a whole lot of evidence that it has any provable effects on animals. Just about everything processed nowadays seems to cause cancer or other horrible things. The non-ethoxyquin foods still mislead consumers (farm fish instead of ocean fish, etc.) or just use human-grade fish, which makes it MUCH more expensive. If you’re that concerned about getting the best food quality and absolute healthiest diet for your beloved pet, IMO, you shouldn’t be using dry cat food at all.

|My three cats love this,
Everybody loved this stuff from the beginning and ate it with a healthy appetite. They’ve eaten this exclusively for almost a year now with good results – glossy, soft coats and good health exams.
Don’t try the new flavor in the gold bag, though, the one with Trout and Salmon? It is disgusting and my cats wouldn’t touch it. I couldn’t blame them – stuff stunk and make their breath stink once they finally broke down and ate it for a few days. Stick with the venison and salmon flavor in the green bag.

|My cat loves it,
I don’t know what kind of addictive substance they put in the food (my guess is it’s the sweet potato, which is kind of an unusual cat food ingredient), but he loves it. I also know that his breeder uses it now, as do a few of my friends. And all of the cats seem to love the stuff.
If you can find the canned, try it. It smells similar, so I’d bet that any cat who likes the dry would like the wet. It is a kind of chunky food in gravy, where the chunks are like tiny pieces of meatloaf.
Ultimately, I have not found a better balance of price, quality of ingredients, and palatability for Mimic.
