Good value for money however it did not agree with my 8 month old cat. He is normally a greedy little thing, always running around your feet soon as you go anywhere near the kitchen. If he hears a packet rustle, he'll come running from wherever he is in the hope it's food for him. My cat is completely motivated by food, he even walked into a bath of water to get to a cat biscuit I placed on the far side (had to shampoo the cat, vets orders).
Basically, he'll eat until he's sick if given the chance, so it was really surprising to see him refusing to eat these Whiskas. He's normally hesitant around new food but he'll take to it once he tries it and will happily devour future servings in a heartbeat. But he would just protest and not eat it until he was really hungry. And even then he'd leave some in the bowl, which he never usually does.
Worst part was the litter tray afterwards. The Whiskas gave him diarrhoea and if you thought cat poop was normally repulsive smelling, the aftermath of the Whiskas was full scale chemical warfare. My enclosed litter tray is usually good at containing the smells for a little while but this was immediate. Soon as the cat was finished his business, the smell immediately permeated throughout the house. 2 rooms away and the distinct aroma of cat poop penetrated my nostrils even though I could still hear him scratching at the litter to cover his scented payload. I held my breath and fought the urge to gag when I opened the litter tray and my eyes watered as I disposed of the Whiskas fallout. But even that wasn't enough as the smell lingered for hours, effectively turning the house into a giant dutch oven.
After 3 days of this nasal onslaught and the 4 legged terror adding equally putrid farts to his arsenal of war crimes, we accepted that it was due to the Whiskas and he wasn't going to get used to it. We immediately got him some new food and this improved the situation within the next couple days. Thankfully Amazon refunded me for the unused bags and I will not be subjecting myself to this type of torture again.
