Has anyones really fussy cat enjoyed this? I have 1 cat who eats Anything so eats mainly raw and decent wet but his mumma is so fussy!

This is my first post ever here.

Was moved to sign up to say that a couple of weeks ago my cat George was ailing, growing thinner by the day and not eating at all. I ordered Katkin to try and encourage him with something tasty. George died. He was 14, nearly 15. The day after the food arrived we found out he had liver failure. So he never did try the food, it's in my freezer still.

What a shock and loss it is to loose your cat suddenly, after so many years. Our family is grieving esp my son who has spent almost his whole life with him, they were best friends.

So I had a text from Katkin asking how George was liking his food. Later a very lovely email with a kind message saying how sorry they were about George and how they had cancelled the subscription etc. I was quite touched, I expect because it's hard to tell most people that you're grieving your beloved cat, only others with cats really know how you feel.

We now have a cat shaped hole in our family and home. Soon we will be welcoming a pair of kittens once they're ready to leave their mum, and we start this whole loving a cat thing again. As heartbreaking as it is, hopefully joy again soon too.

Maybe we will even order Katkin for them

Hi I'd be interested in trying this of you could pass the code along.

My only reservation is not being able to change the trial packs flavours to try them all.
Am I right in thinking this is a daily sachet so might need sharing put over the day?

Yes, so we cut the frozen pouch in half with a bread knife and thaw out half in the morning, leaving the rest in the fridge to defrost for dinnertime. Alternatively you could defrost the whole pouch the night before.

Sandy is super fussy and regularly "goes off" food - usually when I've just bought a load of it!! He's been good so far with Katkin (touch wood!).

Also the physical dimensions of the pack of food please.

Also the physical dimensions of the pack of food please.

Mine (200kcals) is 14cm x 14cm and very thin - maybe half a cm.

 

[SbanR]

Mine (200g) is 14cm x 14cm and very thin - maybe half a cm.

Thank you. I phrased my request badly I meant the dimensions of the whole order but I think my freezer might be too small (unless I'm prepared to have nothing but cat food in it!)

Not sure now has half of its been eaten but I've got an average sized freezer and it didn't take up much room - maybe a third of a drawer

Think I might give them a call and have a chat.

Hi - does anybody who’s been feeding katkin found their kitty might be a bit constipated. Miss C has been going to the litter tray less frequently and her stools are smaller and harder than normal (bonus: no smell). She’s not straining or anything so I’m not sure if it’s normal because of the high meat content, or if I should add some pumpkin/switch back to her old diet for a bit.

 

[Rachey]

I'd imagine less excrement would be due to less fillers and rubbish in it. I've heard it's also quite a small volume of food so I'd probably except less poop

When you feed raw, particularly if it doesn't have a large added veg/fruit content the cat is able to utilise most of the food consumed and as a result the waste (i.e. poops) are much smaller and firmer than in a cat eating a commercial food, where the majority of the ingredients is sugars and fillers. So long as the cat isn't struggling to pass the poops then there is no need to add anything or switch their diet.

Thank you, that's reassuring! This food isn't actually raw, but it is basically just pure meat (plus v small amount of veg), so would that be the same?

Hope your cat enjoys it @pennycat! Unfortunately I had a call from Katkin this morning saying that due to a supplier quality problem they wouldn't be able to supply Sandy's Quack! this week. We'll try him on Oink! instead but it is a shame as he's been doing really well on the duck and really likes it. I have to say that his coat is looking beautiful and soft and shiny at the moment!

@sandy-cat just logged into my account and it looks like quack is back on the menu

 

[sandy-cat]

@pennycat Brilliant, thank you! I've just logged in and grabbed delivery for a week's time. Unfortunately Sandy is flat out refusing to eat the Oink! now.

I have just ordered Phoebe some as she is a chicken fiend - literally only ate poached chicken for the first 11 months if her life. She is still terribly fussy only eats crap cat food or thrive chicken. Oh and steak......if she ever develops an intolerance to chicken we are screwed.

@pennycat Phoebe's poop has always been smaller and harder than anyone else's when she was only eating poached chicken. When she eats normal cat food her poos are much larger. She actually loves raw spinach and green so we gone her the occasional bit to enjoy which gives her some fibre. Green beans double up as a toy and as a treat . If your cat isn't as odd as mine some frozen butternut squash cooked can be given if you think she is a bit constipated.
