You buy wet cat food with a clear purpose: to give your cat a tasty meal, more variety or a moist snack. However, packaging is not always easy to compare. For example, a prominent flavour name says little about the proportion of that ingredient. A snack may also be presented as a meal, while the label states that it is complementary pet food.
With tuna cat food, the packaging may prominently feature the type of fish, while the recipe actually contains, for example, 4% tuna, according to the ingredients list. That is not necessarily a problem, but it is important information if you are specifically looking for a fish-rich meal.
Churu cat treats and other moist liquid cat treats are intended as rewards, toppings or supplements. They do not replace complete food for adult cats. Therefore, always check whether the label states “complete pet food” or “complementary pet food”.
A cat food multipack may seem good value, but packs differ in weight and portion size. Compare the price per 100 grams or per meal. Small portions can also be useful if your cat eats several times a day, while larger packs may create less packaging waste.
For your cat’s main daily meals, ideally choose a product whose label clearly states that it is suitable as complete food for adult cats. The recommended amount varies by brand and cat. Use the feeding guide on the packaging as a starting point and adjust the portion according to weight, activity level and body condition.
According to the product information, Gourmet Perle Sauce Delight is classified as complete pet food for adult cats. The composition includes 80% moisture, 12.5% crude protein and 2.5% fat, among other ingredients. Figures like these make products easier to compare than general terms such as “rich” or “premium”.
Texture often determines whether a fussy cat will accept the food:
Do not switch textures too abruptly. Introduce a new product gradually and monitor your cat’s reaction.
Wet food generally contains a lot of moisture, but the percentage varies from one recipe to another. For example, Gourmet Gold Mousse lists 77.5% moisture, while the INABA Churu Tuna variant lists 91% moisture. Churu is complementary pet food, not a complete meal.
According to INABA’s product information, one Churu stick contains approximately 6 calories. This can be practical if you are looking for a low-calorie cat treat, but the daily amount still matters. Give treats in moderation and take the calories from your cat’s main food into account.

That depends on your cat’s preferences and nutritional needs. Wet food generally contains more moisture and offers variety in texture, while dry food is easy to portion and store. With wet food, check that the product is complete if you want to use it as a main meal.
The right amount varies according to weight, activity level and the product’s composition. Packaging often gives a guideline for a cat weighing around 4 kilograms. Use this as a starting point and adjust the portion if your cat’s weight or body condition changes.
No. According to the product information, Churu sticks are complementary pet food. They can be given as a snack, topping or reward, but should be used alongside complete food. Follow the recommended daily amount to avoid overfeeding.
