and the AI said that it was reformulated in spring of this year to eliminate artificial dyes and preservatives. Apparently your cats are not the only finicky eaters as reports are arriving that are other cats are turning up their noses.

Seeing that it takes a few months for products to make it through the shipping cycle, the timing would be about right for them to get the new Friskies mix.
