Castor and Pollux cat kibble

I don’t feed our cats kibble on a regular basis, but they get it as a snack, like potato chips (I hope the kibble is healthier than potato chips, though).  I also always feed both kibble and wet food to all the foster kittens, because I think most owners feed predominently kibble and I want the kittens to be prepared.  It can sure be great to have a cat who eats both if you need to hide a pill or other medication in wet food.  I generally feed Innova Evo, but a couple of weeks ago I ran out of it and couldn’t get to the specialty store to stock-up.  My only shopping option was Petco, where I hoped I’d find something other than Meow Mix.  To my surprise, I came across Castor and Pollux Ultramix — Petco has recently added a lot of high-quality foods to their inventory, and apparently Castor and Pollux Ultramix is sold exclusively by Petco.

The Ultramix food is fascinating, to say the least.  The kitten kibble is a small kibble, and it’s mixed with dried pieces of banana, carrot, papaya, apples, and blueberries.  I figured there was absolutely no way my cats would eat dried fruit, but they love it!  They eat every last piece when it’s offered.  The Indoor Adult formula is also cool, because the kibble is a variety of shapes and colours—some of the pieces are even shaped like tiny bones.  The cats really seem to love it, and I’m happy with the price.  It’s not totally carb-free, but the carbs are far down the ingredient list, and they’re things like barley and oats.  If your cat is of the adventurous variety, you may want to give it a try; I think I may start to keep it on hand all the time, because the cost savings over Innova Evo are substantial.

  1. This food sounds intriguing (Salem gets Felidae kibble as well as the Merrick wet food, but he’s kind of iffy about it--some days he likes it, some days he turns up his nose). Does it have any corn in it?

  2. If the label’s correct, the kibble contains rice, oats, and barley as the “filler” ingredients, and the two main ingredients are forms of chicken.  Maybe the manufacturer would send you a small sample packet if you requested one by email?
