Why the price hike? Thus was approx $13 for 24 just 2 weeks ago. Walmart sells @ 54 cents a can. Price gouging?

It would seem that since online shopping is beginning to take precedence over brick and mortar shopping (especially due to the pandemic), Amazon and other long time online stores are hiking their prices, because they can. Brick and mortar stores have lost a lot of ground, with long existing, well known stores going bankrupt and disappearing since the beginning of this century. Sear's and K-Mart are a good example. Sears has been around since the 19th century, operating extensively via mail order (I have many digital copies of their early catalogs, and they're huge!). Unfortunately, Walmart was one of 2 nails in their coffin. The first nail in traditional retail was a mix between the white exodus to the suburbs and the coming of indoor malls. When they began to gain popularity their spread during the 70s, 80s and 90s, snuffed out a lot of local and regional retailers. Then along came Walmart. Walmart is largely responsible for the last round of annihilation of locally owned stores, as well as their finishing off what was left of many medium and small sized cities downtowns. Along came the internet, which by the mid to late 90s had only just become an alternative and possible means for smaller and specialty retailers to regain some ground they had lost previously. That is, until Amazon. Amazon began as an online bookseller and were largely responsible for finishing off privately owned local book stores. Amazon was so successful at this that even well-known national booksellers began to suffer. Walden's, B.Dalton's, Borders, and many more, eventually couldn't compete and either downsized greatly or died a slow death. If you were around during those years, there were a lot of people desperately trying to save those stores. Typically, this effort was for the smaller, locally owned bookstores, but there were some who also did the same for the large corporate sellers. Something that seems a bit odd and a text book example of misplaced loyalties. As for the local booksellers, they were more than just stores selling books. They were local venues for book lovers or anyone to spend time talking with others about books, and the owners were always very knowledgeable themselves. There was also a vested interested in saving those stores (as was the same with almost any locally owned establishment) as the money spent in them not only largely remained within the communities, it multiplied itself. While on the other side, money spent in franchises or stores whose base was elsewhere, sucked the bulk of the dollars spent within them outside the area and back to their Cities and States of origin. This is one case where centralized retail (for that is in one sense what it is), does more damage to the communities they move into than most either know about or are willing to admit. Walmart, being amongst the worst of its kind, finished off what the indoor shopping malls and shopping centers had begun before it. At one point, Walmart's goal was to not have any Walmart further than five miles from another Walmart. Then the internet blossomed, along with Amazon. By the late 90s and early 00s, Amazon began diversifying, moving from one element of retail to another, until today their reach is well beyond originally selling books. Unfortunately, as convenient as Amazon may appear, some of it is illusion by utilizing a third party seller system giving the impression that it carries far more than it really does. Don't forget the damage deregulating the banking and financing system caused during the first years of the 00s. That led to the economic implosion worldwide, which many have never really recovered from. While many lost homes, jobs, etc., it was also the beginning of the shuttering of what was once considered steady and stable franchises, big box stores, and indoor shopping malls. Now that we're transitioning to online shopping, brick and mortar stores are suffering greatly.

difference between classic and grilled

If you are in the cat food aisle at Walmart, everyone is shopping for Classic pate because it’s what their cats love.

Why do they put cows milk in food for cats when cats generally are lactose intolerant?

It does NOT cause loose stools in my cats, in fact I switched from a food without milk that actually did cause loose stools. Not every food & protein will work with every cat. I REALLY wish Purina would not put fish in almost every flavor. There are scientifically proven negative consequences to feeding fish except as treat or special meal. Mercury, metals, disrupting vitamin E absorption & addiction. Cats absolutely love the flavor & when fed often will start to refuse other healthy proteins. However I do sometimes add a tsp or 2 of fat free lactose free milk to my cats food. It’s not needed but a special treat with calcium. Milk adds carbs which cats have no nutritional requirement for so also watch the carb content in the food do you feed. If the food has ANy plant material from grain to potatoes to pumpkin it will add carbs & carbs in cats = obese or diabetic cats. Watch the fish & carbs & you can easy measure carbs on dry matter basis using one of many cat food carb calculators available just google. Healthy cats shouldn’t have more than 10% carbs on a dry matter basis and diabetic cats should never ever have more than 5% carbs on a dry matter basis. Surprisingly, all of the new fancy face naturals are low in carbs and acceptable except they all pretty much have fish. Read those labels! It’s not hard to feed species appropriate food…even on budget. 😀

are all of the gravy flavors chicken or are they mixed?

Hi Savannah. It's Diana with Fancy Feast. We appreciate your question regarding our Purina Fancy Feast Gravy Lovers Gourmet Wet Cat Food - (24) 3 oz. Cans. It depends on the flavor you pick but if you do pick chicken it will be a full case of chicken not mixed. We hope this is helpful!

Our kittens lick the bowl clean

We recently brought home a pair of 8‑week‑old kittens and after trying a couple of options, we settled on this turkey paté from Fancy Feast. So far it’s been a solid winner in our house. Here’s my detailed take: ✅ What I like Strong acceptance: Right out of the gate, both kittens were enthusiastic. One reviewer said “My kitten loves this, and I mean it LOVES IT!” Soft, kitten‑friendly texture: The paté format is great for little mouths and baby teeth — super easy to chew, which one review notes as a plus for young kittens transitioning from formula. Kitten‑appropriate nutrition: The product is marketed as “100% complete & balanced” for kittens, so it gives peace of mind that it meets the growth needs of young cats. Good value‑for‑purpose: Many users say it’s an affordable go‑to that kittens readily eat, which is nice when you’re going through cans regularly. ⚠️ Things to keep in mind Flavor & preference vary: While many kittens love the turkey flavor, some reviewers noted that certain kittens didn’t take to it as much as other flavors like chicken or fish. Digestive sensitivities: A few reports suggest some kittens had digestive upset (vomiting or diarrhea) when eating this formula — possibly due to the inclusion of milk or other ingredients in some batches. Batch / formula variation: Some chatter among users suggests texture/consistency changed over time, so if your kitten suddenly rejects it, checking batch or switching flavor may help. Budget & volume: Because kittens eat often and need more portions, costs can add up. If you’re feeding multiple kittens or want variety, you’ll want to plan accordingly. 🎯 My verdict For our household, this Fancy Feast kitten turkey paté has done very well. The kittens devour it, the texture is spot‑on for their stage of life, and we’ve had no major issues so far. Would I buy it again? Absolutely — though I’ll keep one eye on how each kitten responds and be ready to rotate flavors if needed. If I were recommending it: If your kitten is a decent eater and you want a reliable, widely‑available wet food that they’ll likely enjoy, this is a great pick.

Number One choice

I foster neonatal "bottle baby" kittens for the local shelter, and when the babies are being weaned to canned food, Fancy Feast is my go-to. The kittens (and my 2 resident cats) love it, and I have not had a single kitten who is intolerant/allergic to the ingredients. A complete win all around!

Good for my picky cat.

My picky cat seems to love this. He is not a kitty but I don't think that matters at all. In fact it is my belief that it is likely more healthy than the adult cat food because the manufacturers don't want people's kitties keeling over dead from eating it. It would effect their bottom line.

Good budget option!

Fancy Feast kitten food is a decent, affordable option. It’s not my #1 pick but it’s the best option at its price point. The artificial flavors is quite high on the ingredients list and seem “junky” to me. The meat byproducts is also concerning since I don’t know the actual protein. This could be a problem if your cat develops food allergies. I also just like to know exactly what I’m feeding my cat. My kitten was weaned on Fancy Feast before I got her and fortunately hasn’t any issues with it but I also supplement her food with higher quality (aka more expensive) brands such as the Wellness Core, Orijen and Instinct kitten foods to give her better nutrition and expand her palate while saving a little money. I don’t want her to get addicted to artificial flavors just as I don’t want that for my kids. I will eventually transition her off the Fancy Feast but I would definitely recommend Fancy Feast if it’s all you can afford and/or you’re feeding a lot of kittens. It’s just unfortunate that higher quality cat food isn’t cheap, especially for kittens who need to eat so much. I recommend Fancy Feast over Purina Pro Plan, which has too many carbs.
