This stuff is meat, and perfectly safe (all pet food sold in the UK has to be safe for human consumption) – it’s just not meat that humans traditionally eat.

Complete cat food must contain meat. I’m vegetarian but I’d never limit meat in my cat’s diet. Unlike humans, cats need certain amino acids, such as taurine, that can only be found in meat and fish. Some good-quality meat cat foods also contain veg such as carrots, and some cats enjoy this (my cat won’t touch it!), so I’ve included a meat-and-veg cat food product among the recommendations.Royal Canin, now owned by Mars but founded by a French vet in 1968, was the first pet food brand to create foods tailored for different breeds and different sizes of dogs and cats. This meaty wet food for neutered cats (which is to say, most healthy pet cats) is complete, but its energy and fat content is carefully balanced to help relatively inactive cats avoid gaining too much weight.

Complete pet food for adult cats 100% complete and balanced nutritional pet food for adult cats (aged 1 to 7) Your cat loves it. If your cat has a preference for a particular brand and variety of complete cat food (‘complete’ is really important, we’ll come to that next), then that really is the top factor. Food can be nutritionally all-singing/all-dancing but if your cat doesn’t like it, it’ll go to waste. There’s no variety of flavours to choose from. Instead, Royal Canin differentiates its food according to the type of cat it’s aimed at, claiming that cats are more interested in nutritional quality than flavour varieties. My kitty isn’t convinced, but many cats love Royal Canin, and it comes highly recommended by vets.
