They are both so soft and shiny and eat much less of this food than what they were given previously. We give them a tablespoon each of the wet food at dinner time and this goes over great too, except our one cat will not touch the turkey flavor -- the braised beef liver seems to be the house favorite. I definitely recommend this product! The Spa Select Treats were not a big hit, however.

HOWEVER, I've been trying to switch his dry food to Blue Buffalo as well and have had nothing but problems. I've mixed his former dry food (Hill's) with the Blue Buff dry food (1/2 - 1/2) and he did fine for about a week. Then he started vomiting right after he would eat the dry mix. Also, I have a 2 year old lab who often gets into the dry cat food. She has also started vomiting. In fact, she vomited so much that she's only been able to eat rice and eggs for the past 4 days. When they don't eat the Blue Buff dry cat food, they're fine, but as soon as they eat it, they vomit. Unfortunately, I purchased a LARGE bag of the Blue Buff dry cat food to start with, so I've lost about $30, but I'm definitely switching back to Hill's!

We switched her to this from California Natural just because of the convenience of places that sell it (as opposed to having to special order Cal Nat). But after her reaction.... and a trip to the vet.... we are going back to Cal Nat. The Blue Buffalo Spa Select lifebits were enjoyed by my 15 year old Himilayan but she had severe food allergies.

I was in the process of switching my cat from the Nutro Max Cat to the Blue Dry Cat Food, Longevity formula for Mature cats. I was doing the way they said, half and half at first, etc. Well, she puked several times two mornings in a row after eating it. So now I'm back to just Nutro Max cat and no more puking. I don't know if it was the Blue cat food or not, but I'm not taking any chances. I just want the best for my cat and that is why I switched, but the most expensive is not necessarily the best. Plus, my cat is not a big eater anyway and the only time I ever saw her delightfully wolfing down her food was after she had had a gum disease and couldn't eat as much for awhile and was catching up. Otherwise she just eats as much as she needs and not a bit more. She didn't eat the Blu any more than she eats the others. She's not a big cat and about right weight-wise, maybe a little under if anything. I sure don't need her losing weight! I don’t know about this food.

Well unless you want it to get sick and have issues later on. This product contains fruits! Cats are carnivores they are not meant to eat fruit! It's plain sense. I have seen countless cats come into the vet with health issues, and guess what they are being feed, you guessed it! I would recommend Purina pro plan. Fancy feast, Nutro Max, etc. well anything but blue buffalo! thank you and good luck. Do not feed you’re cat this food! Well unless you want it to get sick and have issues later on.

We read some unfavorable stuff about Authority (ground hooves and other inedibles?) so wanted to get the good stuff. Bottom line the cat gets excited for Authority brand and as soon as I mix in some of the Spa Select he just walks off and doesn't eat it. I think something about the smell or taste he just doesn't like. When left in the bowl he will eat it eventually but just does not seem to like the stuff at all. Too bad, we don't want to go back to Authority but he just doesn't seem to like the Blue Buff product.

He eats a small can of wet food at night and snacks throughout the day on the dry food. He eats less than he used to and rarely begs for table food anymore. He seems to have a lot more energy and generally acts happier than before. He absolutely loves the food, too! I haven't noticed much change in weight, which is why I began researching food in the first place, but I think as long as he doesn't put more on, then this food will continue to be our best choice. We also have a very large dog (she has switched to the doggy wilderness formula), so buying expensive food can be a hastle, but you really have to think: it's like having kids and you get what you pay for; it's basically the difference between fast food and real food, there's a reason it's cheaper. Don't hesitate to spend more if you want them to be happy and healthy!

I've been giving it to my 1 and a half year old boy and my 7 year old girl. I've noticed both losing weight, which is great and both of them seem to have much more energy. My boy's coat is shiner and softer. His chronic tearing eye (due to a chmidya virus) has lessened. I've not noticed any problems in the litter box. I highly recommend this food!

Both my cats like it, and have been doing very well on it. My vet says that their coats are in excellent shape, and that the 15-year-old's is as good as can be for a cat that age. We recently tried the new "Longevity Mature" formula, and they both loved it.
