I had a diabetic cat who would not touch the "premium" cat food and I tried just about every one out there on the market. Here's a list of the approved flavors of FF that contain no wheat gluten and are below 10% in carbs.

Tender Beef Feast
Tender Beef and Liver Feast
Tender Beef and Chicken Feast
Gourmet Chicken Feast
Turkey and Giblets Feast
Tender Liver and Chicken Feast
Chopped Grill Feast
Flaked Fish and Shrimp Feast
Savory Salmon Feast
Flaked Oceanfish Feast
Tuna and Oceanfish Feast in Aspic

I have 6 kitties and one refuses to touch can food. If I put a dish of it in front of him, he sniffs it and then gags. So my little holdout gets Wellness Core dry.

The two things that Five the cuddly carnivore is most likely to go crazy over are the water from a tuna can and hummus. I seriously have to give him a dollop of hummus every time I open the container or he will not stop getting in my face about it, no matter how many times I tell him that cats simply aren't supposed to like chickpeas.

They listen well, and then decide they're going to ignore what they've heard if they come to the conclusion that they just don't like it.

To OP. To answer your question. Yes, I do feed my furkids Newmans Own, the Turkey with Vegetable flavor. I tried feeding only the Turkey, but I have one kid by the name of Tigger who absolutely refuses to eat just the Turkey, AND he refuses to eat my homemade raw chicken food. So, I know veges are not what cats eat, but what is a cat-mom to do? I also feed my guys Blue Buffalo Salmon, which by the way, Tigger will eat. I've seen excellent results with Newman's Own and like someone else here mentioned, the ingredients are wonderful. The favs in this house are Newman's Own and Wellness, but most of all my raw diet.

I use a lot of soap and hot water to wash my hands afterward.

ok let me get this straight: If I'm making a chicken for dinner and I reach inside and grab the packet of organs from the chicken, I can just put them in a dish for my cat? Can I do that or do I have to do something else to the gizzards?
