A cat's appetite often gets fussier with age rather than simpler, which is why Gourmet Perle build their senior range around small, gravy-coated fillets rather than a plainer format. This 12-pack is aimed specifically at cats aged seven and over, with Gourmet's own feeding guide suggesting 2 to 3 pouches a day, split across at least 2 to 3 separate meals, for an average 4kg senior cat.

Reading the composition closely is worth doing here: the named "chicken" content is only 6%, sitting inside a larger 17% of unspecified meat and animal derivatives — so most of the meat in this recipe is not chicken specifically, despite the flavour name. The analysis shows moisture at 79.5%, crude protein 14%, fat content 2.5%, crude ash 2.5% and crude fibre 0.5%.

• 12 x 85g pouches
• Formulated for cats aged 7 and over
• Chicken named at 6%, within a wider 17% meat and animal derivatives
• Protein 14%, fat content 2.5%
• Moisture 79.5%
• Serving guide: 2-3 pouches a day for an average 4kg senior cat

On the chicken content. The "Chicken" flavour name suggests chicken is the main meat, but the composition names only 6% chicken specifically, within a broader 17% "meat and animal derivatives" that is not otherwise identified. If knowing the exact meat source matters to you, this label does not fully support the flavour name.

Who it's for: owners of senior cats aged 7 and over who want a soft, gravy-based pouch format, particularly cats that have become fussier with age.
