Happy holidays, everyone.
Weird food question. Looking for "firm" pates! :facepalm:
Bella used to like "soups": watery pates with more water added. Now, she only eats pates that are chopped in small chunks and combined into a pile. So, the texture has to be dense enough but still a pate/loaf.
FF pates have perfect texture but they're too high in phosphorus for Bella's Stage 3 CKD.
Weruva BFF are just a bit too watery.
She doesn't want Royal Canin renal food anymore (and it's too high carb anyway).
Does anyone feed Weruva Wx chicken? Is it also watery?
I'm thinking about Wellness Complete Health or Core pates, but some ingredients there are questionable, like cranberries or carrots. Does anyone feed Wellness pates to their diabetic+CKD kitties?
 
Have you looked into any of the Tiki Cat Pates?
Such as

Thank you, Diane. I'll look into Tiki Cat pates. I just don't want to order yet another package of food that she doesn't like. Although some ferals around here would be happy if I do.
