Cats still like this food with the new formulation- but I had to persist in giving it to them despite the turned up noses initially and the walks away in disgust- One trick I found to work,  if they turned their nose up at the new food, was to move their food bowl somewhere strange and that befuddled their tiny kitty brains and they were more likely to sample the new food and give it a fair shake. I fed my boy cat the new food on his cat tree, or in the middle of living room a few times. I'd follow him sauntering away and just drop the bowl down. "how about now?".. he finally relented and ate. I have to say the change to the new formulation was fortuitous for me as I was trying to get them off Wellness due to the carrageenan. One of my cats had been throwing up a few mornings a week after eating the old formula. Wellness has finally removed the carrageenan!  She hasn't thrown up since starting this new formula, fingers crossed.
