We’ll also talk about what to think about when choosing and how cats react to this brand. Let’s get started and determine whether Felix would be a good fit for your feline companion!

Felix food for cats

Felix is a cat food of lower quality. The Purina company, which was established in the late 1800s, is the owner of this brand. The company was founded by George Robinson, Will Andrews, and William Danforth. Corn, oats, and molasses were used to make the company’s initial products. Since William Danforth was the one to start a new business following a disastrous hurricane in 1896, he is credited with founding the largest corporation, Purina.

Apart from "Felix," Purina also manufactures food, treats, and fillers for cats in addition to dogs. The most well-known Purina feeds are Pro Plan (which includes veterinary diet), Gourmet ("Gurme"), Friskies ("Friskis"), Darling ("Darling"), Cat Chow ("Kat Chau"), and Purina One ("Purina Van").

Leading positions are held by Purina Corporation brands in the Russian market.

What class does Felix belong to?

Cat food is separated into classes in addition to types (wet and dry):

1. Economy is the class of the most budget food. They contain little meat, and the meat ingredients are mainly represented by processed products. This food is widely advertised and sold in almost any store where there is a display case with cat food. Example: Whiskas, Kitekat, Friskies, etc. .
2. Premium implies a greater amount of animal protein in the composition, but a lower content of dyes, flavors and flavor enhancers. Examples: Hills, Proplan from Purina, Royal Canin, etc. .
3. Super premium is food with a high meat content, including natural meat. You can buy such food only in veterinary pharmacies and pet stores. Their price is almost twice as high as that of economy analogues.
4. Holistic. This is the highest class of cat food. There can be up to 100% meat in such food. This is the most expensive cat food, it does not contain any synthetic additives, is not advertised, and is difficult to find. Most often, food of this class is ordered in online stores.

"Felix" is an economy class member. This does not imply, however, that the brand’s products are of lower quality. Certain veterinarians, cat owners, and recipe developers have observed that "Felix" has a better composition than its equivalents. "Felix" is reasonably priced; an 85-gram pouch is available for as little as 20 rubles.

I am an avid cat lover, so I often have to communicate with breeders and veterinarians. Veterinarians have never advised me budget food, but holistic food is not always available. I prefer to feed my cats healthy natural food. If I go on a business trip (and this happens every 2-3 months), then my "cat children" stay with men. Of course, in my absence no one wants to freeze and chop meat, choose trout of the right pink color or steam rice. That"s why I occupy a shelf in the refrigerator with store-bought food – usually inexpensive. My older cat has lived with me for about 4 years, but has never been sick.

"Felix" cat food is displayed on store shelves alongside less expensive alternatives.

Advantages and disadvantages of Felix food

The primary benefits of the meal are:

• affordable price;
• you can buy "Felix" in any supermarket ("Atak", "Magnet", "Karavan", etc. d.).
• the food contains natural meat or fish (at least 4%);
• the brand"s assortment includes not only wet food, but also dry food, as well as treats;
• there is a separate line for kittens;
• a wide variety of flavors.

The following are some of the "Felix" food’s drawbacks:

• some "Felix" food contains flavorings and flavor enhancers;
• many series of Felix food contain allergenic components (for example, brewer"s yeast);
• a veterinary line has not been developed (there are no preventive feeds);
• the composition is not described in sufficient detail;
• some cat owners complain about addiction to the food.

The primary drawback of Felix cuisine is its incomplete and faulty composition.

Assortment and features of food

Felix is treats and both wet and dry food.

Dry food "Felix"

This brand’s "Drying" is embodied in just one line: "Double Yummy." This is a single package that contains both soft snacks and crispy crickets. Produced in plastic bags featuring a tear-off line is this food. It is possible to have 300 or 750 grams. Three flavors of "Double Yummy" food are available: chicken, fish, and meat. A package of "Felix" weighing 300 grams costs, on average, 90 rubles.

Ingredients of Felix’s "Double Yummy" food:

• cereals;
• meat components (at least 4% meat);
• sources of vegetable protein;
• animal fats and glycerin;
• minerals (iron, iodine, copper, zinc, selenium and manganese);
• sugar, preservatives and beer yeast;
• dyes and flavors;
• antioxidants and vitamins (A, D3, E, etc. D.).

At least 8% of raw ash and 11% of fat from the Felix dry feed package are included in the Double Yvonyatin series’ stern, which also has at least 30% of protein. The stern is also colored blue.

Wet feed "Felix"

"Felix" canned food is packaged in 85-gram bags. This product consists of five episodes:

1. Sensations.
2. “Appetizing pieces. Double yummy ”(2 types of meat in jelly).
3. "Appetizing pieces" (classic wet food).
4. "Senseishens" with sauce (pieces of meat in liquid sauce).
5. "Senseishens" with jelly.

Senseishenes is this brand’s most unique series. This is a traditional wet dish consisting of three different kinds of meat pieces in a thick sauce, topped with tiny crickets in a separate bag. The product costs 100 rubles per package and comes in 267 gram packages (3×85 and topping – 12 grams). Since Sensations with topping is Felix’s most recent creation, it is currently offered in two mixes:

1. "Appetizing fish assortment" (cod, salmon, trout).
2. "Delicious assortment" (chicken, duck, liver).

Since "Sensations" with topping is "Felix’s" most recent creation, it is currently only available in two flavors.

"Appetizing pieces. Double yummy" refers to a traditional wet dish that has two flavors. The typical size of a pouch is 85 grams, and each bag costs between 20 and 30 rubles. Tastes of the "Double yummy" food series:

• lamb/chicken;
• beef/poultry;
• trout/salmon;
• turkey/liver.

The following ("single") flavor variations of the food from the "Appetizing pieces" series are produced:

• fish: salmon or trout;
• meat: lamb, beef or rabbit;
• chicken, chicken/tomatoes, turkey.

Single-portion pouches for kittens with a chicken jelly flavor are made in the same series. "Children’s food" is nearly identical, but it contains more fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

It is important to remember that kittens are cats younger than a year old. I had to go to a far-off pet store because I couldn’t find anything for kittens in the nearby stores. In addition to other low-quality goods, "children’s" food is not offered in specialty stores. Giving a kitten food meant for adults is very risky, according to our veterinarian. Such a load may be too much for the baby’s digestive system to handle, which could cause the most serious disruptions to the body’s overall functioning. Kittens that were fed adult food have died in the hands of some owners.

Food for "Children" from "Felix" is packaged in standard-sized, dense pouches with an 85-gram volume.

The following ingredients make up "Appetizing pieces" and "Double deliciousness":

• meat and fish components (fillet and offal of poultry, beef, rabbit, lamb or fish);
• vegetable protein (including vegetable concentrates: tomatoes, carrots, beans);
• minerals, vitamins (A, D3, E, taurine);
• dyes, sugar, amino acids (omega-6 fatty acids);
• microelements (iodine, iron, manganese, copper, zinc).

Blue packaging is used for all Purina Felix brand products. Every Felix food bag has a stripe, the color of which corresponds to the canned food’s flavor (sea fish is blue, chicken is pink, etc.). d.) The package’s back lists the guaranteed indicators and composition. Additionally, there are suggestions for feeding the cat canned food labeled "Felix" on the back of the pouch. Food manufacturers give a lot of weight to the amount of vitamins and beneficial amino acids in their products.

Felix has two more "Sensations" series: one with sauce and the other with jelly. These choices come in the same pouches as other products from this brand, with a volume of 85 grams and an average cost of 20 rubles per bag. The only distinction between the two is that the dish’s aromatic ingredient is a transparent jelly or liquid sauce rather than soft chunks of fish or meat. Unusual flavors are available for Sensations in sauce:

• beef with tomatoes;
• cod with tomatoes;
• turkey with bacon;
• duck with carrots.

The food’s name on the packaging is frequently merely a marketing gimmick. For instance, up to 4% of the Felix brand’s standard food, "Sensations, cod in sauce with tomatoes," contains cod or its processed products. Additionally, the sauce can hold an equivalent quantity of tomatoes. Vegetables or greens do not show up as additives because the sauce liquid is a consistent consistency.

79% of "Felix Sensations" in sauce is moisture. Over 13% of "Felix Sensations" in sauce is protein, and over 3% is fat. The sauce "Felix Sensations" has 0.1% crude fiber. "Felix Sensations" sauce has an energy content of 81 kcal per 100 grams.

The following flavors are available for Sensations jelly food:

• beef with tomatoes;
• chicken with carrots;
• duck with spinach;
• salmon and cod.

The reason this Felix dish is good is the transparent jelly that allows bits of greens and vegetables to be seen. Despite the fact that the proportion of these additives in the sauce is the same.

Sensations canned chicken has 17% meat ingredients, of which chicken makes up 4%. Sensations wet food with jelly has an energy value of 75.6 kcal per 100 grams. Only 5% of the animal protein in Sensations fish with sauce comes from fish, but over 17% comes from animals. Greens are only present in jelly (at least 4%) in duck food, but their pieces are still visible.

• sea (salmon, cod and trout);

Felix treats come in handy foil pouches that keep moisture out. Grill Mix treats have 2% reconstituted fish and offal, with 0.5% coming from salmon.

Party Mix confectionary ingredients:

Does Felix have therapeutic food

There are no veterinary or preventive lines under the Felix brand.

How does Felix differ from other Purina brands

Purina offers a unique cat food in the lowest price range called Felix. Felix is more comprehensive than Gourmet, more affordable than Proplan and veterinary diets, and "meatier" than its equivalents. Felix can have canned food and crickets every day (though some vets advise against giving your cat any type of economy food at all).

Felix is different from other low-cost foods in that it includes meat, albeit in tiny amounts.

How does Felix affect your pet’s health

A balanced diet is ideal for cats. It ought to include fiber, vitamins, minerals, animal protein, and other beneficial ingredients. Cheap cat food is not recommended by veterinarians because it frequently contains vegetable protein (like soy) in place of meat. "Felix"’smanufacturersassert that the product’s meat-to-soy ratio is optimally maintained. A skilled veterinarian is the only one who can ascertain whether or not the complaints made by some cat owners regarding Felix’s poor health are genuine.

How to feed a cat "Felix"

An adult cat weighs between 3 and 4 kg on average. When discussing wet food, an animal of this type requires three to four packages of "Felix" canned food (a total of 350 grams). Ideally, this quantity ought to be split up into multiple meals. Additionally, consider the following traits of the cat:

• active animals spend more energy, and cats living at home (or, for example, neutered) need fewer calories;
• sick or pregnant cats need more vitamins;
• kittens need more protein – building material for proper growth, etc. d.

The cat should also have access to clean drinking water at all times.

Our vet said that an adult cat needs 30-40 Felix snacks or 3-4 tendon "feathers". You can count out a specific number of crunchy crickets, but don"t fill the bowl full of "goodies". As for drinking, I give my cat filtered water in a metal or ceramic bowl. My older cat also likes to drink in the most unexpected places. For example, she likes to lap up water from a saucer with a flower pot on it. The vet says that this is due to the material the bowl is made of. Animals don"t like water that has a "smell", and this can be in plastic bowls, which leave scratches on the walls (bacteria breed in them). That"s why I always have a spare bowl of cool water on the windowsill. Most often, it comes in handy if a piece of food gets into the cat"s drinking bowl and the water becomes tasteless.

It’s crucial to calculate the right amount of food and adhere to a drinking schedule when feeding a cat.

Since canned food is the closest thing to a cat’s natural diet, it helps with substance absorption and digestion. Rice provides the carbohydrates and by-products provide the protein in Almo Nature food. Under the Royal Canin brand, one of the most well-liked veterinary diets among Russian cat owners is manufactured. Since wet food is typically packaged in portions, feeding your pet is easier and you won’t have to worry about giving them the right amount of vitamins and minerals. Although "yams" aren’t thought to be perfectly balanced, this food is less expensive than other extremely high-end goods.
