"For cats. By Cats."

It looks like Beneful. Is that what it is? Beneful for cats? yuk

Yep. Those ingredients sound about like the ones in Beneful. They've made Beneful for cats!

The only thing that "food" is missing is the cousin to anti-freeze... Propylene Glycol.

Yes, it is just "beneful" for cats.  Both disgusting purina products.

it's not.  Pet food is classified as "feed".

That's how they get away with it.

I wonder if it's all the food coloring that makes them so "Frisky" when they eat it? They're just having ADD attacks.

I still don't understand why they put colors in cat and dog food when the scent/taste is all that matters to them.

Because Big Pet Food assumes that the average consumer is an idiot.  They don't read labels, they look at pictures and product. They know the brand name, and they think the food has to be nutritious since it has all these different colors to it.

Those are who these foods are market to.
