Whiskas In Jelly

Many years ago Whiskas was considered the best cat food on the market. Now they keep reducing the meat content, making it cheaper and cheaper and filling it with fillers/bulkers. Neither of my cats will even go near the bowl when I have tried to feed them with it. In fact one of my cats actually wretches the other turns her head quickly like the smell is off putting. I tried to give some to local stray who also walked away. I don't care care cheap it is now it is false economy and the manufacturers bank on the fact that we are never going to taste it for quality. Come on Whiskas - how about you comment on all the complaints?

Everyone keeps complaining about the smell but what about how just generally all around disgusting it is? I open the pouch and the slime that they want to call gravy just slops out all over the counter and the wall! It's so gross.

My 3 cats have been living abroad so haven't had Whiskas for 6 months. On our return to UK I bought Whiskas in Jelly ((a giant box of assorted fish flavours) On the two occasions I gave them the prawn flavour they vomited violently within 5 minutes of eating. Needless to say I will not be buying this food again and all the uneaten pouches have gone in the bin. Something has definitely changed with this product as my cats loved it previously. This particular batch really stinks. I have contacted Whiskas Customer Services to complain and sent them samples. I am waiting for the 'Quality Managers' to pass judgement.

I have four cats, all four used to be Whiskas cats. Their favourite was the Whiskas in Jelly in the Green Box... Whitefish, Prawn, Lamb and Rabbit. Now my cats won't touch any of it. I've tried different flavours of Whiskas but my cats refuse to eat it. I heard tell that the makers of Whiskas had started filling the product out with Cereals (which probably accounts for the disgusting smell!!)

I was lucky enough to find some of the "old" formulation in one of the Value Stores for £2.00 a box but when that ran out I was stumped so I changed brands and my cats are happy once again...BUT my purse is far from happy!!:-(

What on earth have they done to the formulation that makes former Whiskas Cats hate Whiskas??

Whiskas must think our cats are over weight. you cut down the size and keep around the same price. The product at best is average you have lost us!!

I bought this new product in good faith. The box of 12 pouches was on a special introductory price at Tesco. When I got it home I took out a pouch and noticed that it seemed smaller and lighter than usual. The usual pouches contain 100g of food. I examined the box and finally found that the actual weight of each of these pouches were only 85g! This fact is not clearly advertised and I finally found it on the bottom right hand corner of the box where a regular consumer of this type of product would not be expected to look. We naturally assume that we are getting the usual 100g so the price is very attractive. I might be feeling a little cynical but I feel cheated out of 180g of cat food and I wonder, do Whiskas want us to believe that this product is so tasty that our cats can't get enough of it? Well, I've had more than enough of Whiskas and on principle, am switching to another brand.

I recently bought two twelve packs of tins of whiskas - in jelly and in gravy. When I cam to open the plastic wrappers two weeks later BOTH consignments were covered in maggots and both had burst cans where the maggots had started to escape from the tins.

I have never come across such a disgusting mess before and I will never buy Whiskas again.

This used to be a premiums brand - what on earth happened !!!!

yes the food may smell a bit but so does your cats litter but that does not stop you from buying it does it well no i don't think so.Cat food is cat food it smell to us but its what our cats want to eat.I must admit the food does smell foul but i don't see how it could make your house smell buy something to help that although this does not happen to me at all.The food is what my cat eats and i'd rather not change my cat food immediately for to something else to create an upset tummy. Remember your not the one who's eating it the cat is

We picked up a box of this for our new kitten as this is what she was used to and we didn't want to cause any upset tummies the first week. She ate it eagerly, but afterwards she would stink of some rotten meat. The food isn't that great either considering it has such a low meat content and high filler content. Their cans "with jelly" contain added "vegetable protein extracts", typically added to boost the protein content upon analysis, but vegetable proteins aren't metabolized well by cats at all. They also lump (unidentified) "meat and animal derivatives" as one ingredient, so you don't know how much of the content is meat and how much is organs, for example.

It's not the worst food, but you could do MUCH better, and the house won't stink to high heaven of rotting animals.

I have used this for my cat for the 4 years we have had the cat. However, during this summer the cat is turning her nose up at the food, and each sachet is absolutely stinking. The smell pervades the whole house. It smells like something has died! What has changed?

Are the manufacturers doing anything about this problem? I have a large 48 pack and I am going to have to put them all in the bin and change the cat on to some other kind of food.
