***Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Nutrish for Cats. I received a sample of Nutrish for Cats to facilitate this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.*** Okay, so I must admit, I am a bona-fide "Crazy Cat Lady." Minus the shopping cart with a broken wheel and loads of crocheted doilies, of course. That may be me in about 35 years, but for now, I am content to just be a cat lover. And of course, waste copious amounts of time looking at cat pictures online, because that's what crazy cat ladies do, right? Anyway, we have a pretty unique situation here in my home. We have 4 indoor kitties, Noodles, Pringles, Truffles and Havarti. They pretty much run the show, with Pringles as their fearless leader. The cats have us humans pretty well-trained. Truffles actually follows me into the bathroom every single time I need to go, hops up on the vanity, and meows at me till I turn the water on for her. Yep. She's the boss. I am just the lowly human. Then, we also have 2 outdoor cats. We call them our "Yard Crashers." It actually started off as 3 cats, a Mama and her 2 babies....But no one has seen the 2nd baby in over a week, so we fear that something happened to him. I hope that someone found him and decided to take him indoors, but I know how Mother Nature works, and sometimes things happen to wild animals, unfortunately. Anyway, we have been feeding and watering our feral family and trying to establish trust. Once they're totally comfortable and will allow handling, we intend to take them to the vet to get fixed and up to date on vaccinations. Even feral cats deserve a shot at living a happy, healthy life. When it comes to our cats, we always try and give them the best of everything. Whether it's premium, organic catnip, one of their massive kitty-condos, or the best cat food, these cats are beyond spoiled. So of course, when I learned about Rachael Ray's Nutrish for Cats, I couldn't wait to try it out with my pets! Before I share our experience with this natural food for cats, let me tell you a bit about this line. Nutrish for Cats comes in both wet and dry food varieties, and is formulated with just the right nutrients a cat needs to thrive. Real meat like chicken or fish is the #1 ingredient in these delicious recipes. There’s never any junk like meat poultry by-product meal, artificial flavors or preservatives. Just simple, wholesome recipes with a great taste your cat will instinctively love. Look for these wholesome recipes available in dry formulas and wet formulas with fun flavors like Chicken Purrcata, Ocean Fish-alicious and Lip Smackin’ Sardine & Mackerel where you currently shop for your family’s groceries. Do the Kitties Approve ? We received a nice assortment of both wet and dry food to test on our kitties. Also included in our package were some great chicken and salmon recipes from Rachael Ray herself! (And you know that gal can cook!) So I whipped us up some delicious Teriyaki Chicken with Whole Grain Brown Rice, and we enjoyed it while our cats dug into some Nutrish Lip Smackin' Sardine and Mackerel wet food. It's funny. When I opened up this food, Pringles, the ring-leader, came running. Sadly, so did our Yorkie, Trouble. This didn't end well. I ended up getting clawed to pieces while Pringles tried to escape the dog's curiosity. Ultimately, I had to move Trouble to another room so the poor kitties could dine in peace! First Pringles dug in. Then Truffles showed up. Noodles and Havarti weren't too far behind, either. Thankfully, my kitties have excellent table manners, and didn't mind taking turns. My indoor kitties absolutely loved Nutrish for Cats. While they happily gobbled up the dry food, the wet entrees were definitely the real stars. I can't say I blame them, though. Fresh fish and chicken? Yes, please! And I love the fact that I don't have to worry about artificial flavors, preservatives, or fillers. When my cats dine on Nutrish for Cats, they're getting nothing but wholesome, whole foods. A Nutrish Feast for our Feral Family : Of course we couldn't leave the Yard Crashers out. They deserve to eat like royalty, too. Whenever I head to my backyard, I am quickly greeted by Mama and her baby. They don't really let me pet them much or pick them up yet, but they do follow me around and meow at me. Especially when they're ready for some food. I decided to treat my Yard Crashers to some decadent Chicken Purrcata. I opened the container and placed it in the grass, just a few feet from where I was standing. (Like I said, these kitties are feral, so they don't like coming too close just yet.) Mama kitty approached slowly, but the baby trotted right up to the food and started eating away. Soon enough, Mama was right there with her kitten, lapping up this delicious food. Overall, I am absolutely delighted with Nutrish for Cats by Rachael Ray. Both my indoor and outdoor cats absolutely devour this food, and I get peace of mind knowing that their meals are all-natural and nutritionally-sound. Kudos to Rachael Ray for introducing a line of cat food that everyone can feel good about! We will definitely be purchasing more Nutrish for Cats during our next shopping trip!

My cat is unique because she stalks the puppy and tries to steal its food.

Four of my five are polydactyl so they have huge feet and my boys are Maine Coon mixes so they weigh in 20+ lbs. It's more like having dogs except they're awesome cats instead of drooling canines! :)

When you tell him NOT to jump on the sofa, he simply goes behind it and jumps on the arm.

My Dr Jones ( Indy) is a shoulder cat, you have to watch out because he's always jumping on you. It was fun when he was little, now he's about 20 lbs- it's a bit tricky :)

I have 2 kitties that are polar opposites, one is fluffy and pretty and the other is kind of mean and tough lookin. Their personalities seemed to be switched though because the fluffy kitty is skittish and doesn't want to cuddle, and the mean lookin one is a little teddy bear!

Two of my kitties have eye problems, my boy Abe is going blind in one eye and our girl Lillia was born with what they called ocular seizures. They are both happy and healthy considering and my most playful! They extra special!

Both of our kitties were rescues from abused situations and both are as loving and trusting as can be. Moses is our oldest at nine and was rescued at three weeks. When my husband gets ready for bed of a night as he walks down the hall he says "come on Moses it's time for bed" and he follows him and gets on his blankie between our pillows ans sleeps all night till we get up.

We have 6 kitties and they're all unique. The most unique is probably my one-eyed pirate kitty Kerry, we trapped and rescued him as a feral, spraying, 2+ year old male and he's come a long way. Unfortunately due to disease or illness before we got him he went blind in one eye and then later had to have the eye removed. He's still adorable though and it doesn't let it stop him or slow him down one bit.

Max was a street cat when I caught him. He had been in an accident of some kind before I found him but it had healed over and the vet said it did not bother him. He is unique because he kind of walks sideways and has a very crooked tail. He is all black and looks very intimating but is actually a true mush.

3 of my kitties I've raised from birth, they were always in bed with me as soon as it was safe/ they were old enough to be out of the incubator, now over 6 years later they all sleep in the exact same place on the bed as when they were infants. :)

One of my kitty cats (Karma) has all of a sudden developed a fetish for graham crackers. She has chewed the box that they are in and will steal them off of your plate if you are eating them ....

My 5 kitties all have different personalities that make them unique. One is a momma and baby who showed up at my door 14 years ago and they are both very affectionate. I have 2 orange boys, one that had to have a sex change due to recurrent urinary stones and the other had to have his tail removed after being hit by a car. My other little girl I call minnie because even though she's full grown she's a very small cat.

We have two cats. Crazy who is unique because he will play with the dogs until he's had enough, then he'll put his paw out like he's telling them okay enough! Charlie is unique because he was my husband's cat, after he died Charlie started refusing to come in to the house for any length of time.

we have 5 cats the most recent a kitten my daughter found last summer on a dirt road.It is blind :( He does real well though I have to keep the cat food on the counter because the dog will eat it. The other cats jump up but the blind cat can't so he figured out a way..He pulls open the middle drawer then pulls himself up and gets on the counter..too cute :)
