Fancy Feast Expanding into Feline Inspired Human Food

[hippywife]

I thought this was funny since it's the only brand of cat food my two will eat.

Cat food brand Fancy Feast is expanding into feline-inspired human cuisine, with a New York City Italian restaurant designed to celebrate the company's new line.

Gatto Bianco, which means "white cat," is described by Fancy Feast as an "Italian-style trattoria," and will be open for dinner reservations on August 11-12 only, according to a news release from Purina, which produces Fancy Feast.

The human-friendly dishes were inspired by Fancy Feast's new "Medleys" cat food line, which feature options like "Beef Ragú Recipe With Tomatoes & Pasta in a Savory Sauce" for the cat with discerning taste.

1. Maybe they should concentrate on actually producing their cat food.

My little one loves anything with pasta, tomato sauce and cheese.

2. True!

It's seemed so hard to get at times these past couple of years. And the price has gone up quite a lot.

3. On the rare occasions when my store actually has medleys, the price has

gone from 80 cents per can to 1.19 in the last year.

4. I've only ever bought the Classic pate variety.

Here, it used to be under $7 for a box of 12, now it's $9.96. Individual cans used to be $0.63, but are now $0.83.

5. It is crazy.

6. Some of the flavors/descriptions...

…do sound quite tempting.

7. I usually read off the ingredients out loud to my cat before serving it to her

Like a waiter would do.
