Cat refuses to eat new formula

I understand Purina is a for profit company. Obviously, Purina must have found a way to cut corners on Kit & Kaboodle to increase profit margin. But the result, and clearly I am not alone, is my cat now refuses to eat. I have had my cat for over 8 years. All she has ever eaten is Original Kit & Kaboodle. She will not eat any other cat food. I would have been willing to pay a bit more for the old recipe instead of having a cat who refuses to eat. I don't understand the bag design. It says "original" but it is a new formula. This is clearly misleading to anyone who purchases the product and should be redesigned. Please return to the old original formula.

Recipe / bill of material change

I have 4 cats that have been eating kit & Kaboodle for many years. They refuse to eat it now. i even sourced 2 different lots to see if there was a bad batch. I suspect a material substitution was implemented for production cost savings. Who knows for sure, but something changed.

Sickness & Death

My two cats have eaten Kit& Kaboodle for years. In the past 2 months, they both have become sick with vomiting, bloated stomach, wheezing and coughing. My 16 year old cat lost ~1lb per week. She went from ~10lb to 5.2lb before she died about 3 weeks ago. My 2nd cat is about 8 years old and he has been wheezing and an enlarged stomach. He had a shot of steroid about 3 weeks ago and did not get better. It just occurred to me that may be the food. I have read several reviews on multiple sites with similar experiences. My cats have been indoors for several months. No other changes have occurred in our household. The only common denominator is the food.

Why the change

My inside cat was never fussy about her cat food, but this change to Kit & Kaboodle, which is the only cat food she has ever eatten, is not good. She will just sit and look at it. Why did you change the recipe? Will you be going back to the "original" original recipe?

Need old formula back!

I've wasted 2 30 lb bags of cat food thinking the first one was just off. Nope! Our 5 cats won't touch it and keep crying for food! I can no longer buy your product. You should offer compensation and bring back the old formula. You are loosing business! We've used Putin's products for years. Very disappointed. How many complaints do you need before your company takes notice. You should of notified your customers that there was a new formula. Do better!

What changed

Our 2 cats have been eating Kit and Kaboodle for 12 plus years. We recently bought a new bag and they won't eat. What changed? I had to go buy a different cat food and the scarfed it up because it was 2.5 days without eating. Obviously something changed in your food. Not a happy cat .

Cats refuse to eat

I have 15 barn cats. I purchase several bag of kit & kaboodle at a time. When I opened the first bag looked same as always, other 3 where darker in color and pieces where smaller. Didn't give it much thought till the cats refuse to eat. Unsure what was changed. Now trying other brands so my cats don't starve themselves. Will not recommend anymore.

What Changed!

I have 6 cats, 4 indoor and 2 outdoor. Have been feeding them Purina K&K for over a year. The latest purchase, a 22 lb bag from Food Lion, has been promptly rejected by all 6. They are barely eating it, and when they do, they are vomiting it back up within minutes. Purina, change the formula back, or we won't be coming back!

I'm shocked! I did not know the recipe changed!

My cat has been turning his nose up and not eating! I thought he was sick. I've been feeding him Kit & Kaboodle for probably 8 years. I thought maybe the bag was old and I purchased a smaller bag. He is just NOT liking it anymore. What ever they did it was not good. He started last year not liking it. I don't know what brand to try next but this is very disappointing. I'm Sad about this
