I have been a customer of Cat Person customer for over 3 yrs now and I must admit I was blown away with the product. The wet food actually smells like fish or chicken. My cats love the flavors. I buy both the shreds and the kibble to give them a variety in textures. I was surprised when I went to Chewy to check the prices. They were more expensive than on the new site Weruva. If you have not tried Cat Person I urge you to do so. I think you and your kitties will be pleasantly surprised.

In reply to Sara. These are great questions, Sara. We're currently in the process of updating our rating system so we can provide specific details to our readers about how our ratings are determined. Stay tuned!

Have you considered maybe separating out things like “customer satisfaction” and “price” from the ratings related to food quality, species appropriateness, etc? Things like that are far more subjective, I feel, than if the food is good quality or not. (Being as we have actual scientific knowledge of the sort of diet cats require.) As it is, because of those ratings, you give Sheba a 1-point higher rating than Cat Person (43/60 vs 42/60), and I can tell you with certainty that Cat Person is a far superior food in terms of quality. I watched our cats go from having dull, dandruff-y coats on Sheba to shiny and soft on Cat Person. (Like, to the point where anyone who pets them comments on how soft they are.) They seem to have more energy, are far less likely to throw up, etc. Literally every health marker has improved once we switched. I just think it would be a shame for someone to only look at the number ratings and conclude Sheba was a better or even comparable quality food, when it really, objectively isn’t; it’s mainly just cheaper.

The subjective nature of those other ratings does lead me to question things like: how is the recall history score determined? Sometimes if they have no recall history, they get 10/10, but sometimes only 9? What’s the differentiating factor there? Price is weird too. For example, Smalls gets a 7/10 in their review, but they are pretty much dead even, cost-wise, with Cat Person, which gets a 4. (I tried both; Smalls was not at all cheaper. It was also far more inflexible as far as subscriptions go.) As far as customer experience goes, their site is also far more aggravating, as you have to click through to their FAQ to even find the food information, and you can’t even get pricing information until you go through the quiz and sign up for their sampler box. Having to pay $32 to try it before you can even determine what it will actually cost long-term is really not great. If I were rating customer experience for them, it’d get a 2/10 at best. Now obviously, this is all my opinion, but that’s kind of the core of my point: the website being annoying (and, quite frankly, mildly predatory, given the way they handle pricing and subscriptions) doesn’t have anything to do with the food’s quality, and it’s not something that an objective rating can really be made about. Whether or not the food is made from good ingredients and is a good diet for cats, on the other hand, absolutely is, and is far more important.

In reply to LaDarius Biscuits. My cat didn’t like the food. I’m still trying but if not I will cancel my subscription.

This article was so helpful! My cat has a really sensitive stomach and a tuna allergy, but she’s also incredibly picky about wet food so it’s been a struggle to satisfy her palate and get her all the nutrition she needs. After sampling tons of different wet food brands I’ve finally been able to narrow down what she will and won’t eat, and Cat Person seems like it checked off all the boxes of stuff she likes and being a subscription service just makes my life easier. After reading this article I decided to order a sample box of their wet food, it seems that all the pros you mentioned fit into the needs I have and since my cat is pretty small and eats mostly dry food, the main con of cost isn’t as important to me since I’ll only be feeding her one small can a day as a diet booster, not a main source of nutrition. I’m excited to get it in and see how she likes it, but either way this blog post was super helpful!

This is a great idea except that the wet food comes in plastic tubs that will end up in landfills and oceans. It’s time for new and eco-friendly packaging!

In reply to Christiane E Sokol. The wet food is made in Thailand, and the dry food is made in the USA.
