Your cat might eat the same brand for weeks, then suddenly refuse it. A large pack may also seem cheaper, but be less practical if your cat eats small portions. So when choosing wet cat food, flavour isn’t the only thing to consider. Packaging, texture, nutritional status and storage instructions all play a part in finding the right option for you and your cat.
The front of the pack might say ‘salmon’, ‘tuna’ or ‘chicken’, even if the product contains only a small amount of that ingredient. So check the full ingredients list. For example, Gourmet Gold Mousse with salmon lists fish and fish derivatives in its ingredients, including 4% salmon. That’s different from a recipe made mainly with salmon.
Cat food mousse, cat pâté and liquid treats can look like a complete meal. Check the label for ‘complete pet food’ or a similar statement. A complementary product, such as a treat or topper, isn’t designed to replace your cat’s main daily food.
For example, according to the product information, INABA Churu Skin & Coat Multipack is complementary pet food. You can give it as a treat or topping, but the recommended amount is limited to a maximum of 10% of your cat’s daily calorie intake.
Compare the price per 100 g, not just the price of the box. A multipack of small trays or tins can make portion control easier, while a 400 g pack may use less packaging per gram. Once opened, a large pack usually needs to be kept in the fridge and used within the stated time.
For an adult cat, look for complete wet food for adult cats. Also check that the feeding guide suits your cat’s weight, age and activity level. The guide for a cat weighing around 4 kg is just a starting point. Adjust the amount if your cat is more or less active.
Products such as Gourmet Gold Mousse, G’woon Kat Adult Paté and various Gourmet Gold multipacks are described in their product information as complete food for adult cats. Always check the packaging when your order arrives, as recipes and labels can change.
A soft texture can be a good choice for cats that prefer soft food. Don’t take this as a medical recommendation: if your cat is in pain, has difficulty eating or suddenly changes its eating habits, it’s best to speak to a vet.
Check the ingredients list and analytical constituents. Pay particular attention to fish if your cat reacts badly to it. G’woon Kat Mousse with tuna and G’woon Kat Mousse with salmon list fish as an ingredient or allergen.

Claims about skin, coat or other effects aren’t proven just by a product’s name. According to the manufacturer’s own information, certain ingredients, such as fish oil or vitamins, may play a role in the product’s composition. Use the label as a source you can check, and follow your vet’s advice if your cat has specific dietary needs.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Serve wet food at room temperature where possible, unless the packaging says otherwise. Store unopened tins, trays and pouches in a cool, dry place. Cover opened packs and keep them in the fridge, using them within the time stated on the label. Don’t leave food in a warm room for long periods.
Always provide fresh drinking water. If you’re changing brands or recipes, do so gradually if your cat is sensitive to changes. Keep an eye on your cat’s body condition and appetite, too; always use the feeding guide on the packaging as your reference.
Yes, as long as the packaging says it’s complete pet food for the right life stage. Check the recommended amount and adjust it to your cat’s weight, activity level and any other food they eat.
It depends on the product, your cat’s weight and their activity level. For a cat weighing around 4 kg, some products recommend approximately 2 to 4 portions a day, split between at least two meals. Always use the feeding guide on the packaging as your starting point.
Not necessarily. Pâté or mousse may suit cats that prefer a smooth texture, while chunks in gravy can appeal to cats that like more texture. Choose based on what your cat will eat, whether the food is complete, its ingredients and the practicality of the portion size.
