This food is cheap, and cats like it. No, it isn't the most nutritionally fabulous food. Yes, it has grains. Yes, it has meat byproducts. But not everyone can afford to feed cat food that costs $2 a can. We work in rescue, and while I would love to feed the super expensive wet food, the reality is that it would cost me $50 a day and that is insane. So we feed a lot of friskies pt varieties and the cats do well on it.
