Katkin food. Has anyone got any experiences or thoughts on it?

[Ineedasitdown]

I was sucked into trying Katkin food for a trial period by the promising marketing.
Anyway 2 weeks worth of food has arrived and I’m not sure what to make of it. Dcat (10) has nose dived into it so she appears to approve, but then she has a post prandial coma after it for a few hours. Normally she sleeps or washes after food. This is more a crash. I actually wondered if it has catnip in it! (It hasn’t) Its 93% meat which is where I got persuaded into a trial.

most of the online reviews are very positive but there is the odd one which talks of cats being ill. I’m not entirely sure I trust online reviews either.
So I thought I’d ask the wise people and their cats here on thoughts.

Picture of dcat for tax.- that’s her normal. Not a Katkin coma!

I put my cat , Maddie on it, she's an old girl at 16 years, she ate it, cleaned her dish, but then she became very ill, took her to the vets, thinking she would be put to sleep. She wasn't drinking, or pooing or weeing, non stop throwing up. £188.54 later, I brought her home, she's now on probiotics, a lot of TLC and I cancelled KatKins. She's back on her old food, and getting better slowly. Never again will I put her on it. It's not worth my cats life.

Our cat happily tucked into Kat Kin ouches for some weeks, but then began to vomit bike every couple of days early in the morning. When he could

Have you tried either Scrumbles, Lilly's Kitchen or Blink? We also buy chicken livers, tins of tuna & salmon too.

My 2 love it. Aged 16 and 15 and have been eating it for 2 years or so. Took a couple of weeks to transition to it, but they’re both in very good health (for their age).

in fact they’ve both decided they’ve not eaten enough today and have asked for more.

dcat 1 regularly used to regurgitate his food, but has been completely fine since starting with it.

It's worked really well for our cat with IBD/ stomatitis. Less smelly poo, less dodgy tummies... I do think there may be inconsistency between batches, sometimes they love it and sometimes they go off it. Supermarket food makes him sick very quickly.

After a while on Oink as part of a single protein source trial we now have 4 flavours they got on with. Cluck is currently the favourite flavour. We bought a seperate freezer which is mostly cat food now 🤦🏼‍♀️

Started my cats on Katkin three weeks ago. Older cats (14/15 years), overweight and neutered, grub it up enthusiastically. Youngest cat (15 months and very pregnant, also a fussy eater) needs to have chicken "sprinkles" applied to most meals before she will clear her plate. I really dislike the messiness of using the Katkins pouches and the HUGE amount of plastic landfill waste generated by this product's packaging; I also dislike the text messages, emails and other marketing, culminating in a phone call today on my mobile (which I had not given to them for marketing purposes) soliciting a further order. I said I wouldn't order again due to the environmentally unfriendly nature of the packaging; the lady was polite and said she would cancel my order immediately (I wasn't aware that I had placed any order; simply, I had signed up and paid for a trial box), and this was done. So I cannot give them a total black mark (my cats didn't have any digestive issues or other physical problems, although the fussy eaters were not keen on the product), but I didn't like the marketing (hey, I am over 50, of course I don't like being marketed to over the phone!) and I profoundly object to all the plastic waste in the packaging.

@Mutney You can wash the packaging and recycle with soft plastics at the supermarket. We snip across the top to open and have a grotty dishbrush that fits well to wash them out.

What did your previous food come in? We had foil pouches previously so we already used to washing/ recycling those.

Untamned was ok to begin with my fussy cat ate the first tins but hasn’t bothered since I’m glad I didn’t sign up I just bought a couple from Tesco so at least it wasn’t £££ of wasted money I am now back to square one trying to find food he will eat, the tinker does try to eat the kittens food though.
