A Wild Pursuit for a Wild Mancat #feedthepursuit

We are being compensated for our review of Natural Balance® Wild Pursuit™ Cat Food, but A Tonk's Tail only shares information we feel is relevant to our readers. Our promise: you will always receive our honest opinion about any product we review. 

If there ever was a kitty who walked on the wild side…it would have to be Faraday.

Whether he’s tearing through the house, taking mad leaps of athletic prowess or endlessly tormenting Allie, anyone who knows him knows he’s one wild man!

Faraday, unleashing his inner beastie.

So when Natural Balance asked us if we knew a cat who might be interested in reviewing their new Wild Pursuit line of cat food, some kitty quickly raised his paw. (yeah, we know, big surprise there #amiright?)

As a daily eater of Natural Balance’s Platefulls wet foods, Faraday was all for it. Especially when he heard this food “satisfies your pet’s ancestral cravings.”

Faraday would like to remind you about his Great Uncle Mortimer. Remember last April's interview?

As the human with Veto Power in the house and, I might point out, the one with the opposable thumbs, I wanted to look at the ingredients list first. There are 5 different Natural Balance Wild Pursuit flavor profiles: two fish, two fowl, and one with beef, buffalo and venison.

For investigative purposes, I grabbed the Chicken, Turkey and Quail formula. The top 6 ingredients were home runs for me: Chicken, Chicken broth, Chicken liver, Brewer’s yeast, Turkey, Quail. Hello! Can you say Obligate Carnivore?

Natural Balance describes their Wild Pursuit offering as “a high protein formula with a balanced blend of three premium protein sources...closely resembling the diet they would have eaten in the wild”. Having grown up in the Texas countryside where both barn cats and quail were plentiful, I can totally corroborate the quail part. In the cat world, quail is “Good Eats!”

To be honest, though, I may have been most excited about its texture: all 5 cans are paté. Is your home like ours? I cannot get any cat to touch wet food if it’s not in paté form. (Okay, with the exception of Natural Balance’s Platefulls pouches, which are about the size of a moist treat. Any other format – e.g. shredded, diced, chunks – is utterly rejected by all three.)

Faraday: "Blah, blah, blah. Enough talk. Bring on the noms, Mommy!

Okay, moment of truth: did it pass the taste test?

The Great White Hunter spies his prey!

Nommy!

Seriously Nomilicious! 'Scuse me while I dig in....

I’d say that was the look of one satisfied customer.

You can buy Natural Balance Wild Pursuit for both dogs and cats (and hey, there are even treats for you pups out there!) online at retailers such as Pet360.com and Chewy.com, or at your local Petco now and PetSmart starting in August.
