Yummy Monday

September 23, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat45 Comments

I hope it is better than breakfast was!

I have another taste test to do today! My human has been very choosy about what we get, and so far, it’s all been good! That is why I’m so excited to see my plate filled!

I'm not even pretending to be patient

This time it is Natural Balance Platefulls from Chewy.com! A lot of other blogging kitties have tried out this brand, but I am the only one I’ve seen who got the Turkey, Chicken & Duck Formula. Those are three of my favorite foods, which is why I am yelling at my human to open the pouch already.

Smells good!

’Bout time!

I am not sure how my human got this shot without my face in it

The Natural Balance Platefulls are grain-free, with no corn, soy, wheat or artificial flavors, with all ingredients made in the U.S. To be honest, I am not so sure about the peas and carrots. I prefer just meat, and I tend to eat around them! Humans are always being told to eat their veggies, but I am an obligate carnivore so I don’t have to if I don’t want to!

I really like this! Sorry Boodie, you will have to wait

I sure do like everything else about this food, though!

Boodie got a little of this bowl, but not much

I actually liked the Natural Balance Platefulls so much that I ate nearly the whole bowl, which is rare for me. There were three pouches, so Binga and Boodie got one each for dinner, and they loved it too!

I would have been even more impressed if it had had MY name on it!

But wait, there’s more! The Chewy.com humans also included a fun cat toy in the package!

My human is really not sure what I am doing here

Now that I’ve eaten, I think I will have some recreation and maybe some cat yoga.

    We’re longtime fans/snorkers of Natural Balance’s tinned offerings, and may we recommend the Salmon, the Ocean Fish, The Tuna & Shrimp, the Turkey & Giblets, the Chicken & Liver, the Indoor Cat Formula, and the Extreme Ultra Super Premium whatever-it’s-called. Good eatin’ 😉

    That looks very tasty. I always leave the vegetables too if there are any in my food.

    Why does Chewy hate me? Oh well. Glad you liked your grub. It looks a bit like the Whiskas’ pouches I get sometimes. Once TW gave the strays outside something with peas and they spit out all the peas. HAH!

    We wonder if it would pass the Oui Oui test? Chewy has sent us some treats but she has always preferred the box.

    We’re glad all three of you got to try the foods! We don’t understand the peas and carrots in kitty food. It’s just a waste of space for more of the good stuff! The pen is pretty cool too!

    Guess what Sparkle – that’s the same flavor the Farm cats taste tested. They will be putting it up on the publicist’s blog tomorrow. There were smacky paws involved!

    Except for the stupid veggies-as-fillers-to-make-as-much-money-as-possible, it looks tasty for kitties! Maybe we can persuade our human to let us try it. Okay, she already knows we’re not going to touch the vegetables. Or the chunks of meat. But hey, the gravy looks tempting! LOL.

    P.S. No fear of our human wearing out the area rug from exercising. Ha. (In fairness, she has a little rower in the basement.)

    Love the toy too.

    That food does look nommy…..but I have a “thing” about chunky stuff so Mom would have to smash it all up for me and maybe add a dab or two of water. But it sounds good – I’ll add that to Mom’s grocery list before I forget. Ballpoint pens (and pencils) make wonderful toys…..I have quite a collection UNDER the couch and UNDER some chairs here and there but my Mom keeps removing them on cleaning day. Pffffft!

    Happy Monday Sparkle! We’ve had that exact same food at our house too and it’s super yummy. And yes, we eat around the vegetables as well. Even Hunter does too and he will usually eat anything! Meow and Namaste! ~ Pippy the Feline Yogini

    It has been a 100 percent love fest with every review I have read on this food. I believe I will have to break down and buy some for the kits to try. Since Giulietta and Fiona often won’t eat the canned food; though, the other six gobble it down, I’d like to find something they like. Thanks for an honest review. Janet

    You got a pen? A PEN??? Ever lucky. I usually have to forage for my own pens to add to my collection which I keep under the refrigerator but don’t tell anyone that ’cause it’s a secret, okay? But no one EVER sends me pens. *sighs*

    Spunky: That food looks very good, we never get anything like this though.
    Manny: That’s because you have such a sensitive stomach and eat too fast if we get something really good. Then you throw it all up. Yuck, it’s all your fault, Spunky.
    Spunky: Sorry, you’re right, Manny. It is my fault.

    We’re not sure about the peas and carrots either. However, Charlie, being slightly stupid, would eat them and leave the meat behind.

    We know how fussy you are, and if you ate it, we will certainly give this a try for Pierre, who isn’t getting with the wet food program at all. That was really thoughtful of the Chewy people to include a fun cat toy like that.
