Having a wide choice of cat food is useful, but it does not always make comparing products easy. Packaging often uses words such as “deluxe”, “natural” or “with chicken”, but these terms do not automatically mean that a product is suitable as a daily meal. With wet cat food in particular, it pays to read the small print.
When buying cat food, focus on three key points:
“With chicken” or “with fish” sounds clear, but the packaging may state that it contains just 4% chicken or tuna, for example. The rest may consist of other animal ingredients, vegetable protein extracts, minerals and sometimes sugars. So check the composition, rather than just the flavour shown on the front.
Not all wet food is suitable as your cat’s only daily food. According to the product information, MjAMjAM Cat Cream Chicken and MjAMjAM Cat Cream Chicken & Salmon are labelled as complementary food. These portions are intended as a snack or treat alongside regular meals. Do not use them as a replacement for complete cat food.
A large cat food multipack may seem good value, but your cat may refuse a particular texture or flavour. Portions may also be too large for a small eater. Cat food in 80 or 85-gram pouches is practical for individual meals, while cat food in tubs or tins may be better suited to cats that enjoy pâté or mousse. Also check the storage instructions after opening.
For adult cats that receive wet food every day, look for the wording complete food for adult cats. This means that, according to the product information, the product is intended to be a complete meal when used in line with the stated feeding guidelines.
A complementary product may still be suitable for adding variety, but it should be given alongside a complete meal. This distinction is more important than luxury packaging or an appealing flavour name.
At a minimum, check:
Claims about omega-6 fatty acids or supporting healthy skin and coat come from the brand’s product information. According to Felix’s own information, certain foods contain omega-6 fatty acids and vitamins. Treat this as product information, not as a medical effect.
The feeding guideline on the packaging is a starting point. For example, Felix generally states that an adult cat weighing around 4 kg should have a maximum of three pouches per day for certain varieties; the recommendation may be lower for sterilised cats. Exact nutritional needs vary from cat to cat.
Ideally, divide the daily portion between several meals and adjust the amount according to your cat’s weight, age and activity level. Always provide fresh drinking water. Store opened pouches and tins according to the label, usually in the fridge and within the stated period.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Choose food that clearly states it is complete food for adult cats. Also check the feeding guideline, composition and portion size. For sterilised cats, the recommended amount may differ from that for cats with an average activity level.
Wet and dry food have different characteristics. Wet food contains a high proportion of moisture and is available in pouches, tins, tubs, jelly and pâté. There is no single option that suits every cat. Consider what your cat eats, portion control and the information on the label. For specific dietary questions, it is best to seek advice from a vet.
Always follow the packaging instructions. Many products recommend keeping opened portions covered in the fridge and using them within 24 to 48 hours. Do not leave cat food at room temperature for extended periods, and discard any leftovers once the stated storage period has passed.
