WHICH flavor? Coebeio likes the hairball formula and the chicken, but NOT the lamb or the salmon dry. (If they don't like it...pitch it. Cats will starve themselves rather than eat something they don't like. - or rather than throwing it out...post at the pet store...see if someone would like to buy an open bag from you....sometimes, people do....or donate it to an SPCA)
Sorry.
