Purina gets fancy with pet treats Cats now have another dining option • High-end

Secrecy was a must. Inside Nestlé Purina Petcare headquarters, they used a code name: Project Trident. Plans were afoot to shake up the $17 billion U.S. pet food industry. The goal was a new cat food. Not a meal. Not a treat.

"A game-changer,"

said Vincent Biroscak, senior brand manager for Fancy Feast. "A paradigm-shifter."
A team of 40 at Purina worked 3½ years to develop this new product, shape it, fine-tune it. They spent hundreds of hours on research and design. When a select group of St. Louis area cat owners last year tested the product at home, they were forced to sign nondisclosure agreements.

And then, late last month, the new product quietly began to appear on store shelves nationwide.

Fancy Feast Appetizers for cats. ...



Recession? What recession?

AYFKM?  I have two cats.  They get IAMS dry, with a VERY rare can of wet food thrown in.  FF, as I recall, is overpriced junk food for cats, and now they want to charge mini-bar prices for that crap?

Our dog gets "Ol' Roy" brand from Walmart, but it is the chunky moist stuff.  She sometimes gets boiled boneless/skinless chicken breasts.

That may be why your cats don't look at you with lust in their eyes like this one does to its owner.  :lmao:

Wanna bet?  I've got one that will (literally) leap through hoops when I dangle open a can of tuna.  And yes, they each get some.

LOL...open tuna in this house and you are immediately surrounded by 6 furry little bodies, some of which are trying to climb up your leg to get to the yum yums!

My cat is perfectly happy with dry Iams as well, and my dogs are good with it too.
