Quincy and the Cat Food Scandal

I have been trying to find a food that all my cats like, will eat (some food they just like to play with) and do well on. Between my little princess who is just a fussy eater when it comes to catfood, and nervous about eating in general to another who throws up many foods, this is not an easy task. I have a senior and a growing 1 year old, an overweight and an underweight but heaven help me if someone gets a different food than another ones does.
Rather than spend a fortune buying and returning bags of food they will hate, I contacted the companies of the foods I was interested in and asked them for samples, which they were all happy to provide. Yesterday I came home from meeting the SmartCanuck ladies to find a ripped open package from Holistic Blend Pet Foods including several samples of their foods as well as a cute save my pets in case of fire sign – we have one here and I was wondering where to get a new one as we are planning on moving so YAY. Anyway, back on track, the older cats have been fed Holistic Blend before, but we stopped when dealing with diabetes and obesity issues with another cat, Scully, who has now passed. So I was hoping they would not have changed the formula much and the newer cats would like it (which they did, another YAY). But one of them likes the new Grain Free All Life Stages so much he decided that I was taking too long to get home and feed it to them that he would help himself. (I say he because chances are it was Quincy, but my princess would never, ever rip apart mail – it is just so un-princess-like and the others are boys so…). He had left some in the little packet so I gave some to the others as treats and they really seem to like it.
Then today, a second package came in from WellPet – this time nicely secured in a bubble envelope where it wasn’t so easy for the brat to open it – but my thoughts on last night’s package thief was confirmed. I opened the package and looked at the contents, leaving it on the table beside the recliner. It should be safe there, they like to sit on the back of the recliner but not the seat of it. Well I was wrong, because I got out of the shower to this:
Once again, he had chosen the Grain Free Formula (in this case, this is called CORE) and he wasn’t giving this one up for the world, he actually growled at me for trying to take it. I swear he thinks he is a dog.
I sent the picture into WellPet in response to the email they sent me saying they would send me samples, I am sure it is nice to get something back rather than the usual complaints customer service have to deal.
They also sent me samples of Indoor Health (yellow bag) and Complete Health (blue bag) which the cats all seem to like but not enough to open the bags themselves this time.
