This is an old post from the old blog. I’m moving a lot of these posts to this blog, so that I can delete the dinosaur. Precious Prissy was still alive when I wrote this post, so it’s pretty bittersweet to read it. It’s always good to remember her, but I’ll always miss her beautiful little face and graceful, dainty, perfectly delightful disposition. She was so laid back – such a contrast to Miss Alexa!
This particular post actually had over 20 comments, which I’m not moving here, although they were great. I think it was split – about half of the commentators gave thumbs up to this cat food, while half said their cats didn’t seem to care for it.
What experience have you had with this brand? At the time, I hadn’t given Fancy Feast to my cats before, but since then, Alexa has fallen flat out in love with it.
Disney (a name that brings a smile to just about every face, including mine) has jumped, mouse ears first, into the $75 billion global pet care industry ($36 billion in the U.S., alone) with lines of products for cats, dogs, fish, and hamsters. I believe they started with an Old Yeller line of dog food products.
I really first took notice when I saw their Aristocats Cat Food on the shelves at Kroger. Our babies love to try new goodies, so I bought one of each flavor. (On a side note, the cans are perfectly adorable, with scenes from the movie on the side.) This was, honestly, one of the only brands of cat food that our cats, unanimously, loved. Whiskas and Aristocats now stand as the only two “wet food” varieties that result in extremely happy cats and over-licked cat dishes around our house, inside and out.
Prissy and Bo will absolutely eat anything you set in front of them. As though she was determined to prove it, the other day an olive fell off of my pizza and Prissy ate it before I could pick it up. Then she wanted more but I just couldn’t feel good about myself feeding olives to a cat.
Svenn and Alexa are pickier than Bo and Prissy. Usually, he only likes dry food (and only some brands, at that), but he threw himself into the Aristocats cat food. They’ve all requested that I grab more cans on my next Kroger trip. I’m a soft touch, so OF COURSE I’ll do just that!
Apparently, Disney is also planning to launch a line of cat products from the movie “That Darn Cat.” My test panel is looking forward to it.

These are lovely! I’ll have to try them, although I guess I missed Easter.
I am a foster with a local cat rescue, and a lady had to turn in her father’s cat to us because he had to be put in a nursing home. The cat came with all of her supplies, including the aristocat cat food. I have never heard of it before, but she seems to love it. I was at walmart today and didn’t see any there. Where do I buy this? What company makes this food?
My eight-year-old Siamese had refused to cooperate several years ago when I tried to get him to eat Fancy Feast. He ate a couple nibbles the first couple days, then the novelty wore off and he rejected it. So I had given up on him. But a couple weeks ago, I got a new kitten, and I decided to see if he’d be more into wet food. The Fancy Feast was a little expensive, so I decided to try Aristocats, which was only 39 cents a can at my local grocery! So I got a few flavors to try… Ironically, at first, the kitten ignored the wet food, but the older cat loved it. He ate his portion, and I think he ate the kitten’s portion the first couple days, too. Soon, after watching his “big brother” enjoying the Aristocats so much, the kitten joined in and is now eating nice quantities as well. I am so happy to have discovered Aristocats. It is a great value, and tasty treats for my finicky felines!
