we love our pate's, they eat it all up, it provides the moisture they really need, the better brands that are grain free, or more nutritious if they don't get eaten, it doesn't help and cats need the moisture, dry food is not enough, older cats suffer kidney failure due to lack of moisture and good nutrition. I feed a high quality dry food grain free, and mix my Friskies with a higher quality can, we mix it up a bit. they love their Friskies.
