Cat food rec request

[erinptah]

So, first to pay the cat tax, this little old lady is Fiddlesticks:

She likes her wet food in the morning. But: if it has chicken shreds/tuna chunks/other solid pieces in there, they don’t make it all the way into her mouth? She just pushes them around her dish while licking up all the sauce.

There’s this one brand, the Delectables Lickable Bisque line, where the ingredients are fully pureed. It’s all gravy. Put some of this down, and she has no trouble licking it clean.

The only drawback is…the Lickable Bisques come in these small plastic sachets. I am churning out so much garbage for the sake of this lady’s breakfast.

Does any cat food brand have a product that (a) is 100% pureed and (b) comes in a jar? Or a can? Something where you can scoop out a couple spoonfuls per day, for a couple weeks, and then recycle it at the end?

Because I would really like to start buying some.

Darcy and Bingley went through puree phases but their person doesn't know of any non-plastic options. She suggests looking for meat puree human baby food in glass jars (though you'd still want to give some cat food for complete nutrition) or trying canned pate food mixed with warm water until it's semi-liquid - it won't be quite puree but it should be lickable. But they would still be in relatively small jars/cans. (I probably wouldn't want to serve meat out of the same jar/can for a week+ anyway though, the risk of spoilage gets pretty high. If you don't want to be opening a new can every couple days you're probably looking at a lot more prep.)

For whatever reason, this cat does not have any trouble with dry food, she will crunch that right down! So she's getting nutrition that way. Sounds like human baby food might be the thing to try.

Being able to recycle the packaging was the main goal, I can totally work with small jars/cans.
