    9 LIVES DAILY ESSENTIAL has Titanium Dioxide

    Titanium Dioxide should not be in this cat food, or any cat food, it's a carcinogen.

    Long time buyer.

    I have 6 indoor cat's. They are very picky about their food. I bought a 20lb bag of the Essential thinking if the cat's don't like it the coons will. I fed them that night, it was a hit. I noticed no more throw up like they did with the color mixed cat food. That made it better. They have been eating this for 5 years. I try to switch their food no they will not eat the other brands I tried.

    My outside cats love it!

    9 lives cat food has been around for a long time and has always been a hit for any cat I have had. The few outside cats I take care of when they actually show up enjoy the food and it is affordable.

    Shiny & Very soft coat

    While it’s very processed food I’m trying to get my cats off of I have to say both of my cats have different coats and they are both soooo much softer than usual when I give them this food.
