? Questions About Carbs in New 9Lives Flavors

[Blamethecats and Hannah]

We're still having problems with getting Hannah to eat. It seems she now totally dislikes all of her usual Fancy Feast flavors and refuses to eat them. Not good! I've read that many of the FF varieties have recently been changed, so perhaps that is part of our problem. Anyway, we're now trying some 9Lives varieties. Today we brought home 9Lives Meaty Paté Mixed Grill and 9Lives Meaty Paté with Real Beef. I think these two varieties are fairly new and they do not appear to be mentioned on our food list. I'm wondering if they are within the recommended carb range for my little sugar baby? Has anyone tried these two flavors or know if they are carb acceptable?

As far as I know, @JohnZ's spreadsheet is the most up-to-date info on 9 Lives. Real Beef is on there at <5%, but I don't see Mixed Grill.

Check it out here.

Below are the 9Lives carbs and data from the new food chart we're working on.
Note- the chart is sorted by carb count.
These values are based on actual As Fed values received from 9Lives.
The Mixed Grill has 5.3 carbs.
I feed the 9Lives Pates (mostly the ones under 5 carbs) to Derek (and my other cats) with no problems.
I do mix in some warm water to make it more gravy like... they love it.

Thank you so much @AZJenks and @JohnZ !!! That is most helpful. Looks like I got lucky and picked two varieties that are lower carb.

Hi Carole,

I'm sorry to hear that Hannah's having more foodie issues. Going through similar here with the Noodle since Sheba changed their recipe. Saying a little prayer that Hannah will like the new food.

Thanks, Mogs. Yes, the eating issues continue. As you know, we are now trying 9Lives patés, topped with bits of poached chicken and chicken broth. That suggestion came from you, once upon a time. Thanks for the prayer... we will be needing it, as my little girlie is losing ground. Best of luck to you and Noodle, as well. It can't be easy, can it?!

As always you'll both be in my thoughts and prayers. I really hope the new food will help your darling girl.

@JohnZ I thought I asked a question about calories in 9 Lives but can't find the post anywhere, so I will ask now since I am not sure if I already did or not. 9 Lives website shows meaty pate's with real chicken to be 165 calories per can and your chart shows it to be 104 calories per can. Shaak can have between 200-220 calories a day, so I am trying to figure out how much to feed her each day.
