Has something happened to Friskies canned cat food ? Our cats used to eat it all the time, but reject it now. [View all]

If it sits in their dish for a while, it dries out and darkens and looks thoroughly unappealing. It didn't used to do that.

I've been trying Mitten's Pickin's (from PetSuppliesPlus, made in Canada which has a good reputation re. pet food) without much success, and now Fancy Feast, which is a lot more expensive and has only a few flavors to choose from, and they don't seem all that wild about it either, though they do eat a little of that.

Both cats are ~12 years old, brother and sister, and started doing this about the same time. I was feeding them only Friskies, and Redford's Naturals dry food when this started.
