Coaxing kitty to eat

[ETrent]

Betty Crocker is never going to present me with an award for home economics...this much is clear to me.   That being said -- in the isle of the grocery store that has tuna..have you seen the vacuum sealed flat pouches of pink salmon that Chicken of the Sea puts out? (improved texture - hand filleted)  Very high quality for a processed fish...and what do I know...but I'm thinking that ounce for ounce - it is more economically and nutritionally feasible to buy this salmon that nobody here can resist...than it is for me to buy the EVO (which no one here will touch) or fancy feast - which some will eat (but we're picky about flavor and texture).    Funny thing is -- my Phelix won't TOUCH a canned cat food that says anything 'salmon' on it...but he sure does love this Chicken of the Sea fresh packed pink salmon.  The kids absolutely inhale it.  I mean everybody gets a star for the clean plate club. The kids are all happily washing their faces right now.  I've just about decided that it is more economical and healthier (Omega 3's and all that) even if I do pay a penny or two more.  At least I'm not throwing away stale food.  I think I'm paying about $1.50 for 7.1 oz....feeds 8 heartily.    Is this unhealthy for them? Comments?  Suggestions?   Hope everyone is having a good evening, elizabeth (in alabama)   Support bacteria. They're the only culture some people have.
