Between tempting recipes, multi-variety packs and economy sizes, choosing cat food can quickly become a headache. A pâté your cat loves isn’t necessarily designed to replace their main meal. And larger packs lose their appeal if opened portions aren’t stored properly.
Here are the criteria to consider before buying adult cat food, mousse, chunks in sauce or cat treats.
A pâté or mousse labelled “complete food” is formulated to be the main meal, according to the instructions on the packaging. Conversely, chicken treats, salmon bites, liquid snacks and rewards are generally complementary foods.
This distinction makes all the difference:
The mention “with chicken” or “with salmon” doesn’t necessarily mean that ingredient makes up the majority of the recipe. On some products, the highlighted ingredient is only present at 4%, in line with the threshold typically associated with a “with X” claim on pet food labelling.
So take the time to read the full ingredients list and check the variety you’re choosing. Within the same pack, recipes can show different percentages.
Bulk packs of cat food can lower the price per portion, but they require proper organisation. Once opened, tins and pouches of wet cat food generally need to be kept in the fridge and used within the time stated by the manufacturer, often within 24 to 48 hours.
For dry treats, reseal the pouch carefully and stick to the recommended period after opening. A 60 g format is handy for trying a flavour, while a 360 g pack is better suited for regular use.
Start by identifying the label that matches the product:
Some products in this selection are for adult cats only, while certain Catisfactions salmon treats can be given to kittens from 2 months old. This information should come before your cat’s taste preferences.
Cat pâté, mousse and chunks in sauce don’t offer the same experience. A fine mousse will suit a cat that prefers a smooth texture, while pieces in sauce provide more variety.
The wet foods featured here often have a water content between 78 and 82%, depending on the recipe. This information is listed in the analytical constituents and allows you to compare products on an objective basis, without judging quality by the stated texture alone.
For treats, check the maximum number recommended per day. Some Catisfactions or Whiskas Temptations references contain less than 2 kcal per unit, but they remain complementary foods. The main ration should be adjusted accordingly.
Also remember to check:

Yes, as long as you adjust the total ration to the cat’s weight, age and activity level. The packaging sometimes gives a specific combination, for example a certain number of pouches alongside a quantity of dry food. So avoid simply adding two complete rations together.
Put it in the fridge as soon as it’s opened and follow the time stated by the manufacturer. For the references shown here, it’s generally recommended to use it within 24 to 48 hours. You can then serve the portion at room temperature if your cat prefers it that way.
No. Chicken, salmon, liver or catnip treats are complementary foods. They are for rewarding your pet or adding variety, but the basis of their diet should remain a product suited to their age, specifically labelled “complete food”.
