Furry PI's verdict

Purina Friskies Indoor Flaked doesn't hold up well under the magnifying glass. Grains crowd the top of the ingredient list. To be fair, as a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

  • Ocean whitefish leads, but grains — wheat gluten and rice — dominate the rest of the list.
  • Contains artificial flavors — an ingredient our database flags as genuinely problematic for cats.
  • Artificial colours or preservatives on the label — artificial flavors.

What works

  • As a wet food, it delivers the moisture cats rarely drink on their own.
  • Carbohydrate load stays close to what a cat would eat in nature.

The grade is only the cover of the case file. The free app shows the full 100-point breakdown, every flagged ingredient, and better-graded alternatives for your cat.
