Alright, let’s talk about cat food. Specifically, Honest Kitchen. My cat, Whiskers, is a picky eater. I mean, this cat has turned her nose up at so many different foods, it’s ridiculous. So, I was on a mission to find something, anything, that she would actually eat and enjoy.
I heard about Honest Kitchen from a friend who swore by it. “Human-grade,” she said. “My cat loves it!” she said. I was skeptical but desperate. Human-grade sounded fancy, and expensive, but hey, I’d do anything for my furry friend. So I picked up a box. I think it’s chicken recipe, the purple box. It’s a bit pricey than my old cat food, about 35 bucks a box. But it’s dehydrated, so you get more bang for your buck. The box said it could make 12 pounds of food!
Preparation
- First impression: The food looked… interesting. It’s like a powder. It smelled kinda like herbs and veggies, not like regular cat food at all.
- Mixing it up: You gotta add warm water to this stuff and let it sit for a few minutes. It’s not just scoop and serve. It felt a bit like cooking, which was weird, but okay.
- The wait: It took about three minutes to become soft. I saw some instructions said five minutes, and five is better. Whiskers was watching me the whole time, probably wondering what this new concoction was.
The Moment of Truth
- Serving it up: I put the bowl down, a little nervous. Whiskers sniffed it, then looked at me like, “What’s this?” She has very strict standard for food. Only soft food, no kibbles.
- The first bite: She took a tentative lick… then another… and then, she started eating! It felt like win the lottery! Actually, the bowl is almost empty now. She’s usually a grazer, but this time she ate most of it in one go. I couldn’t believe my eyes.
- Happy cat, happy life: She seemed to really like it. She even purred while she was eating, which is rare for her at mealtime. After, I found Whiskers was grooming herself and looked happy.
So, yeah, Honest Kitchen is a win in my book. It’s a bit more work than regular cat food, but seeing Whiskers happy and healthy makes it worth it. Plus, knowing it’s made with good ingredients gives me peace of mind. I’m definitely going to keep buying it. It’s a big change from the usual routine, but I’m happy with the result. Whiskers is finally excited about mealtime, and I’m no longer throwing away uneaten food. Good stuff, really.
