A cat that loves eating sauce can be quite fussy. Yet an attractive packet or a flavour name doesn't tell you everything about whether the food is suitable. With wet cat food in sauce, the key differences are often found in the nutritional status, portion size and ingredients.
Pay particular attention to these common pitfalls:
Look for the phrase "complete wet food for adult cats" if you want to use the product as a daily main meal. Complete food is formulated to be used as a full diet, within the feeding guidelines on the pack.
A product described as a treat or complementary food should be given alongside a complete meal. For example, the Sheba Fillet Shrimp, Ocean Fish & Chicken in Sauce 60g provides 20% of the daily energy requirement for a 4kg cat according to the product information. The recommended amount of main food should therefore be adjusted.
Also check the age group. The products mentioned are mainly intended for adult cats. Kittens, senior cats or cats with specific dietary needs may require different food.
Cat food in individual portions is practical when you want to serve it fresh without opening a large tub. Many meal pouches and trays contain 60g, 80g or 85g. An 85g pack may suit some cats for one meal, but the daily amount depends on weight, activity level and whether you also feed dry food.
Examples from the product information:
Use these figures as a starting point and always follow the current label. Needs can vary from cat to cat.
With cat food containing fish, you can check which type of fish and what percentage is listed in the ingredients. Felix Delicious Fish Strips includes varieties with salmon, tuna, cod and plaice. Gourmet Perle and Sheba also offer combinations of fish and meat.
If you prefer to offer variety, you can choose cat food with chicken, cat food with beef and fish varieties all in one multipack. That way you don't have to buy several separate boxes straight away. However, bear in mind that a multipack with different recipes may be less suitable if you need to closely monitor your cat's reaction to a single ingredient.
According to the product information from the brands mentioned, several recipes contain no added artificial colours, preservatives or flavourings. Always check the pack at the time of purchase, as ingredients and labels can change.
Why this fits the profile: The mix combines meat and fish recipes in portion pouches. This makes it easy to try different flavours without buying several full packs.
The product information clearly states it is complete wet food for adult cats and provides portion guidelines for different weights.
Variety with beef, poultry and fish; convenient 85g portion pouches.
Why this fits the profile: This multipack contains four recipes with fine fillets in sauce and, according to the product information, is complete food for adult cats.
The four flavours reduce the chance of buying a large stock of one flavour that your cat might refuse.

Why this fits the profile: The box contains 12 pouches of 80g with fish varieties such as salmon, tuna, cod and plaice. This suits households where several portions are used daily.
The portions are individually packed. This means you don't have to store an opened large pack for several days.
Complete nutrition for adult cats; four fish varieties; feeding guidelines for normal and neutered cats.
Why this fits the profile: The varieties combine a generous amount of sauce with fine pieces of beef, chicken, tuna or salmon.
According to the product information, it is complete food, meaning sauce lovers aren't automatically limited to a separate treat.

We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Serve wet food at room temperature if possible. Any opened portion that isn't eaten should, according to the product information, be covered and stored in the fridge. Use leftovers within 48 hours, unless the label states a different timeframe.
Provide fresh drinking water with every meal. If you're switching to a different brand or flavour, do so gradually. Also keep an eye on your cat's body condition and adjust the portion if you're also feeding dry food.
Yes, when the pack states it is complete wet food for adult cats. A complementary product or treat is not intended to replace the full daily diet.
This varies depending on weight, activity level, age and whether you also feed dry food. For a cat of around 4kg, the product guidelines for the foods discussed here often recommend 3 to 4 portions per day. Always use the feeding guide on the pack as a starting point.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge and use them within 48 hours. Discard any uneaten food after that. Always check the specific storage instructions on the label for each product.
