Did Fancy Feast change their formula?

[bif]

My can used to love all their flavors, especially the Medleys. Now that I really stocked up on it, she's become super picky. I have to play games with her. I'll give her 1/2 a can and she'll smell it, scratch at the ground for a bit, and then walk away. If I mix in some of the FF pate, she'll eat it. She just turned 6. Is it that her tastes have changed now that she's older or did they reformulate their products?

1. There was another thread about this a couple of months ago,

someone else asking the same thing. Consensus on that thread was that yes, apparently it has changed.
I can't really help, my cat kids won't eat anything but friskies pate, almost any of the flavors.

2. My cat only eats the pate. I have not noticed a change.

3. My cats are still eating it (grilled only.)

They like the ones with the cheese bits best, I think. Sometimes I get a can and maybe it's off for some reason, and a couple of the girls won't eat it. I switch them off to Temptations Bites in Gravy when it's on sale. There's only two flavors of that chicken and seafood. Fancy Feast is up to a dollar a can at the grocer now, and 96 cents at PetSmart, so I can't have it go to waste at all.

4. I have to mash the bits now and mix in a bit of Churu.

5. I believe that all of the manufacturers have altered formulas in efforts to save profit margins without raising prices

(Without raising prices too much, that is)
With tariffs, price increases on meat, increased cost to manufacture, can and ship- they are changing things within the can.
I can’t blame them but I can blame drumpf and the R party for creating economic havoc, ignoring climate change and general fuckery.

6. last year I think they made a change

my cats (4) changed their liking to certain flavors for no reason.
presume that all food companies, human & pet, are lowering the
quality of the ingredients at the same time they are raising the prices.

7. My 4 geriatric cats now like the FF pate, but only if it's chopped up. They used to only eat the grilled

poultry/beef, but now prefer the chopped up pate. This just happened over the past year or two.

8. My Mr. Picky Eater used to be a safe bet on FF Creamy Delights

and Florentine but Creamy Delights seems to have been discontinued and my latest case of Florentine doesn't look milky creamy and he rejects it as often as he rejects all the non creamy choices.

Even asked the vet at his last visit for any food suggestions but he had no advice to offer and said the FF was an okay choice.

9. Mine is very finicky re all cat food. Fancy Feast he'll eat half the time.

I buy him all kinds of flavors to try to trick him. He ends up eating 1/3 of a can. Then demanding a new can when it is 1 hour old. I've tried natural cat food and frozen meat. Nope. Doesn't like it. He will drink milk or cat treats. It is a roller coaster trying to feed the guy.

10. I call Gravy Lovers Fancy Feast Kitty Krack.

That is all my spoiled cat would eat by his druthers. Give him 2 cans each day. He is a big 20 lb plus cat.

He is a slow and picky eater in general but immediately slurps down FF Gravy Lovers and then demands more. I gave him 4 cans last Christmas morning as an experiment and treat.

I keep a bowl of dried food of Frisky's Gravy Swirlers that he prefers to other dry food that he will eat, especially at night when I sleep.

He will not touch grilled Fancy Feast, doesn't consider it food.

He will eat pate Fancy Feast when convinced he will get nothing else.

If I give him canned Frisky's with gravy, he licks the slime off the bits of meat that he leaves in the bowl.

I tried to turn Costco albacore into a gravy version with added water and corn starch but he was not fooled. The Costco albacore used to be an occasional treat and now he wants nothing but Kitty Krack.

Rue the day I first gave him FF Gravy Lovers several years ago. He worships the Gravy Lovers more than his bond with me.
