and all the profit goes straight to masterfoods in addition to the sales from snackfood (m&m, mars, snickers, twix etc), petfood (next to whiskas, that includes sheba, kitekat, pedigree, cesar, trill - for birds, etc), main food (uncle ben's, suzi-wan) and vending machine for hot and cold drinks.... all together - A LOT OF PROFIT PER DAY

Oh I believe it! I had a very old old kitty who I had since I was a child. When he was about to pass the only thing he would eat was those Whiskas pouches. I even tried the more expensive brands, but he was all for the Whiskas Salmon flavor. YUCK!

My kitty is failing [who knows how long now] - i bought her gourmet food from time to time but know all she'll eat is Fancy Feast. They must have the scent down pat.

I have always fed premium foods, but my 18 year old with Renal failure was so thin at the end, I gave him anything he would eat. He chose Fancy Feast and the Whiska's pouches over anything else.

My Kitty had renal failure too. He was extremely thin and starting to get stinky and bald. I think he was close to the age of yours. I remember he would always lick up all the gravy and save the chunky stuff for last. He loved the gravy.

Whiskas is disgusting crap but, I agree, it is wonderful for sick cats. They like the really stinky foods.
