Sheba's Delicate Pâté in Jelly for Cats Review

Sheba's Delicate Pâté in Jelly for Cats: A Mixed Bag

summarizeEditor's Summary

I recently tried Sheba's Delicate Pâté in Jelly for my British cat, and while it's not a total disaster, it's not the best value for money either. The packaging is still top-notch, but that's about where the positives end. My cat enjoys the pâté, but it's a bit of a pain to serve due to its messy texture. The real kicker is the lack of nutrition information on the packaging. If you're looking for a hassle-free cat food experience, this might not be the best choice. That being said, if you're willing to put in the work, Sheba's Delicate Pâté in Jelly might be worth a try. I've found that the pâté is relatively easy to find in stores, at least in my area, and the price is reasonable, especially considering the size of the package. However, the pâté doesn't seem to be as nutritious as some other options on the market, and my cat needs me to cut it into bite-sized pieces, which can be annoying.

I haven't bought anything from Sheba in ages because my cat was just eating her dry food without any enthusiasm, and then she even started turning up her nose at it and dramatically 'dying' next to her bowl.

Recently, I stumbled upon a chicken pâté and thought I'd give it a try. She loves pâtés, although she's not exactly dainty about eating them and needs me to cut them into bite-sized pieces.

I love the packaging of Sheba's cat food - their logo features a beautiful Russian blue cat that I find really elegant and charming.

I have a British cat, with the same coat color, but she's a bit on the plump side, with a fluffy rump and a playful personality.

I've only seen pâtés made with chicken and salmon, but there might be other flavors available.

The pâté looks appetizing on the packaging - it's cut into small pieces, has a soft, airy texture, and comes with a sprinkle of green herbs.

The melting-in-your-mouth chicken pâté is topped with a thin layer of aromatic jelly. Even the most discerning cats can now enjoy its silky texture and delightful presentation.

Here's the product description and recommended daily serving size. I always think it's a bit excessive, but my cat doesn't seem to be hungry, and she can only finish 2 packages in a day, usually eating one and then switching to dry food. Even if I'm only feeding her wet food, she just can't finish it in time.

I bought this pâté as a treat for her, but I wouldn't consider it a regular staple in her diet.

Ingredients:

Meat and offal (including chicken), amino acids (including taurine), thickeners, mineral substances, beetroot pulp, sugars, vitamins.

I'm not impressed with the meat content, but that's probably because it's not a lot. The texture is way too thick and airy, which tells me there's a significant amount of thickeners and water in there.

The expiration date is listed on the bottom seam, and the text doesn't smudge. You can store the pâté at room temperature.

I appreciate the packaging with notches on both sides - it makes it easier to open than a standard can.

It's easy to scoop out, and there are no leftover bits stuck to the bag. No sauce is left inside, just a compact pâté.

But, let's be honest, it looks pretty unappetizing - just a dense, uniform, and light-brown mass. It barely fits in the bowl. The smell isn't as bad as the appearance, though - it's more like chicken broth than liver. My cat's not a fan of big chunks, so I chop it up into smaller pieces for her. It's probably even better if I made them even smaller, but she's already done with breakfast while I was figuring that out. It looks way better in sliced form, as you can see from the cut. The pâté itself is still the same, with no visible moisture. This one's at room temperature.

My cat gave it a thumbs up, devouring it in no time. It's so soft that she barely chewed on it, just making happy little mewling sounds while she ate. And to my surprise, she didn't even try to pull it apart. She gobbled it up in two sittings, and I could tell she was already stuffed, but she just couldn't resist going back for more. Eventually, she licked the bowl clean, which is a rare sight - usually, she leaves a bit behind, letting it dry out until I clean up.

The tail end of this experience was just as delightful, with my cat rubbing up against my legs, purring contentedly, and generally being a big ol' softie. And to my relief, there were no digestive issues - her appetite and energy levels remained unchanged.

KvprqOG5PpVcFRzE0hLkg Sheba Delicate Pâté in Jelly for Cats I'd definitely recommend this as a tasty treat, but for a regular diet, I think it's best to choose something with a bit more meat content. My cat needs a more balanced mix of nutrients to stay active and healthy.
