Waitrose cat food?

Just wondering whether anyone has any knowledge (beyond what's on the pack) about Waitrose Special Recipe cat food? Bought a few pouches today to try it out, it looks like bozita (which also looks like Whiskas... so doesn't say much). Usual "4%" info on the back (see here) although one thing i noticed was that cereals were not the first ingredient. I know I'm probably clutching at straws here...

Basically I'm looking for high meat content wet food I can buy on the high street, as I'm fed up of having to take days off work for zooplus deliveries (and it's a bit hit and miss as to which day it'll actually come) (they have been having smilla & animonda carny; bozita made them stinky). Unfortunately the cats have gone off the Pets at home Purely food they loved when we first got them which is a pain.

I would love something we can buy from Sainsbury's or Waitrose or pets at home as that's what's nearby. I know the encore stuff is good from sainsbury's and we buy the biscuits from there, but the wet stuff is so pricey. I've also bought hi-life pouches from Wilkos relatively cheap, but they only sell them individually and they just seem to go through them so fast! So any tips on sainsburys/waitrose decent quality cat food would be much appreciated by me & the cats! THANKS!

Thanks Hobbs! I have indeed just been looking at the natures menu and luxury Tesco stuff which does look good. We sometimes do an online food shop there so that would work, at least they deliver when they say they will.

Why is it cats can tell which food is most expensive?! They loved the purely biscuits until we tried them on encore biscuits for a treat and now they won't touch the purely...

(I might have spoken too soon on the Waitrose stuff, so far they have just licked the jelly off. Will have to see if the chunks disappear later...)
