Brexit? Covid? Or am I just getting unlucky? Every time since the start of the year I've gone to stock up on cat food (specifically kitten, wet pouches) I've struggled to get what I need. Used to have her on Felix as good as it looks, but then it went out of stock everywhere for a while so I changed her on to some good food, but now it's been out of stock every where for a few weeks now too! Is anyone else finding or am I just having shit luck?
I recently purchased 2 30lb bags of Meow Mix online (bulk purchase = free shipping) for about $40. I heard later about the recall but my order had already arrived. I called Walmart to ask if this batch was impacted by the recall, they didn't know so they refunded me the full amount and told to to keep the product. Doing further research my batch wasn't impacted. So I've got that going for me.
Here is the recall info in case you need to check.

I have lost 20 pounds since weighing in at my heaviest weight in the fall. I know that it’s a good accomplishment but I sometimes struggle to think of it as an accomplishment because the weight I am now used to be the heaviest I’ve ever been... so it feels like I have a really long way to go.
My 11 year old has been joining me in eating better and paying attention to portion sizes, etc. and she knows that Sunday’s are when I weigh myself. I don’t say anything negative in front of her of course (I keep that to myself!) but I told her that I had lost 20 pounds so far.
Well, later in the day I got a delivery of cat food from Chewy. Two 10 pound bags. My daughter was helping me put them away and she said “Hey, this is how much weight you’ve lost!” I hadn’t thought of it like that, but it really put things into perspective and made myself feel better about my accomplishment being able to physically feel just how much 20 pounds is!
So i tried buying $150 worth of Feline Natural wet cat food only to find out my cat hates it so im trying to find something else.
She seems to love Purina Friskies and im trying to get her something else but every cat food on Amazon claims that the cat food killed their cat.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Buying cat food shouldnt be this hard but it is 😭 and im not scared to spend money on my cat but is there anything healthy and yummy out there? Feline Natural just aint it....
Edit: Thank you everyone! I'm reading through your comments now and doing my research and I will no longer be buying from Amazon. From the comments, it looks like Chewy is the way to go. What a amazing community you guys have here :) thank you for the help
