Let's say I have three* very picky cats. Three is the number we're going with, because more than that and you're labeled Crazy Cat Lady. So three. Picky picky they don't have jobs but want boojee food cats to turn their noses up at once delivered to their door.
THIS food? All approved. Yay on the brothyness.
Now I have to pawn my worldly possessions to keep affording this. Why does it have to be so spendy??

My kitty is extremely picky but she is OBSESSED with this kibble. I often serve these on the side with her wet food or sprinkle them as a topper, and she munches them up, regardless of the time.

What gives me peace of mind is the high-quality ingredients and their WholePrey formula. I'm particularly impressed with the clean ingredient list, free from starches and potato fillers, aligning well with my high standards for kitty's food.

However, I did notice that the richness contributed to kitty gaining some weight. She's very persuasive, and I may have been too generous as she chipped away at my ability to resist. Since taking a brief break from these kibbles, her weight has normalized steadily. She was becoming blimp shaped, and is now cat shaped again. Still, a great dry food to have around!

Quality ingredients are vital no matter who's eating! It has been so rare to find a dry and wet cat food company who provides such pure ingredients. Or at least that's what their ingredients list on the bad claims! I have reason to believe it from the moment I opened the bag based on the food having a solid color, a vibrant gamey smell, and my cats immediately were drawn to it unlike other kibble I've brought home in an effort for better health. I am very excited to see if this keeps working out as hoped. The price is a bit high, which is understandable based on the ingredients and the lack of people who care enough to buy whole prey ingredients. Unfortunately because of how costly it is, if the powers that be decide to induce another economic breakdown I may be inclined to cut corners in the most unfortunate areas such as expensive cat food. Where can I shop bulk pricing for Orijen?

The media could not be loaded. The quality of the cat food that I purchase became of great importance to me after I lost my first cat to a disease that my vet said was triggered by, and worsened by, the cat food I was feeding him (Fancy Feast). So I begin doing research on what cats really need in their diet and the backgrounds and production of various cat foods on the market. Of everything I found, this brand "Orijen" always seemed to make the top five list of healthiest and most nutritious cat foods made with the highest quality ingredients as well as the best sourcing and production practices.
Admittedly, there was another brand that was above "˜Orijen' in these categories that I wanted to give my cats...but cats are picky, and they did not care for that brand too much...so I went to my second choice, which was "˜Orijen'.
Ever since trying Orijen's "˜Cat & Kitten', we have never found another "go-to" food for the cats.

They truly love this stuff. And as you can see in the video, I once got a bag home and (even though they had eaten that morning) they were more than happy to tear the bag open before I could even get to it. (usually I keep the cat food stored away in a cupboard).

If you're looking for a fragrant, dry food to attract your cats' attention, this is definitely a go-to. Even with my human nose, as soon as I open the bag I can smell a powerful scent of cat food; it's not an unpleasant smell, but it is certainly strong enough that a cat will know that the food is there.

As my cats' responsible human, I am happy with this food because it is responsibly sourced with cat's health and humane practices in mind. More specifically, it is made of 85% animal ingredients including free-run chicken/turkey, wild-caught herring/flounder/sardines, and cage-free eggs; and 2/3 of their animal ingredients are "fresh or raw". I am also encouraged by the fact that the first 16 ingredients listed on the bag are all whole animal sources; no fillers, supplements, fruits, veggies, or mysterious compounds.
Additionally, taurine, which you must be wary of in cat food since it can be found in high quantities (particularly in low quality, high protein) cat food and cause health disorders in your pet, is found as a respectably small percentage of this food.

I only wish that Orijen made wet cat food, since making sure cats get enough water is a very important thing. I did try to put some water on their dry food, but they didn't like that.
My answer to that was to buy a motion sensitive water dispenser, and buy them canned cat food on occasion from another respectable brand.

With regard to price, yes it is rather expensive for a cat food. And getting used to it did take some time. However, after being told that I lost my first cat because of the low quality of the cat food I was feeding him (and I had no idea!), the peace of mind I get now from knowing that I am feeding my cats a properly nutritious food is priceless.

Overall I am very happy with the brand and this flavor, and as you can see in the video and the picture of the damage done to the bag before I could open it and the cats are also very happy with it.
(There's a picture of the cat food in a bowl next to a lightbulb for reference on the size of the kibble).

the food has made a big difference in my cats weight, fur and itching/with rough skin. mellowed him out significantly, yet still playful and snuggly!
