Cat wet food trays and pots

Trays and pots are two of the ways wet cat food is packaged, alongside pouches and tins, and the difference is mostly texture and portion size rather than ingredients. We stock terrine and pate-style trays and mousse-style pots from several brands, in single trays and multipacks.

Trays

Sheba Classics Adult Cat Food with Chicken in Terrine Tray and Sheba Fine Flakes Adult Wet Cat Food with Salmon Jelly are both single 85g trays, and the Sheba Classics Adult Cat Food with Salmon in Terrine 8 Pack and Sheba Nature's Collection Cat Trays Mixed Selection in Gravy 8 Pack cover the same formats in a multipack. Lily's Kitchen Cat Organic Turkey Pate uses foil trays for its organic, grain-free pate recipe.

Trays tend to suit cats who prefer a firmer, pate or terrine texture over a sauce or jelly, and the individual tray size means less goes to waste than opening a larger tin for one meal, particularly useful for a cat who will not finish a full portion in one sitting.

Pots

Gourmet Revelations Mousse Chicken, Tuna and Salmon are all 57g mousse pots with cascading gravy, aimed at a softer, smoother texture than a terrine tray, and Gourmet Revelations Fine Cuts in Jelly Salmon uses the same pot format for a jelly-based recipe instead of mousse. Lily's Kitchen Smooth Pate Selection is a pate in foil trays across four meat-based recipes, similar in format if not in texture to the mousse pots.

If your cat is a picky eater, offering a few different textures — terrine, mousse and jelly — across a couple of feeds is often a faster way to find what they actually prefer than sticking with one format and assuming it is the food itself they are rejecting.

Common questions

What is the difference between a terrine tray and a mousse pot?
A terrine tray is generally a firmer, pate-style texture, while a mousse pot is whipped to a softer, smoother consistency, often served with a separate sauce or gravy — the choice usually comes down to which texture your own cat prefers rather than any real difference in quality.
Are Sheba trays suitable for kittens?
The Sheba Classics and Fine Flakes trays we stock are labelled for adult cats rather than kittens, so check the pack for a kitten-specific recipe or ask us before feeding a young kitten an adult wet food, since their nutritional needs differ.
How much wet food should I feed my cat each day?
Feeding amounts vary with your cat's size, age and activity level, so the guide printed on the specific tray or pot is the right starting point, and it is worth checking with your vet if you are unsure how much your particular cat needs.
Why is my cat only eating some textures of wet food?
Cats can be genuinely particular about texture rather than flavour alone, so a cat refusing one format, such as a firm terrine, may eat happily from a softer mousse pot or a jelly-based tray instead — it is often worth trying a different texture before assuming the food itself is the problem.
