We’re always on the lookout for innovative new cat products and last month we were excited to read about the launch by Mars Petcare of a new brand of high-protein cat food (wet and dry) catering to your feline’s instinctual desires. It’s called CRAVE™
In their Press Release dated July 25, 2017, the company announced that CRAVE™ cat recipes are specifically crafted to nourish our cats through high-protein, meat-first, grain-free recipes – like the diets of their wildcat ancestors. Not only are we fans of this approach, but we also quite like their brand message in the use of the phrase ‘Satisfy their Nature‘.
This new ancestral inspired recipe provides high quality nutrients for a strong, lean body and the energy to chase. Now available at both pet specialty stores and mass retailers at a competitive price, the CRAVE™ brand makes it simple for pet owners to incorporate a high-protein, ancestral diet into their cats’ lives.
The brand promise is simple…high protein, real meat as the #1 ingredient, and no grain.
“Every dog and cat shares a connection with their wild ancestors – from their natural behaviors to their nutritional needs,” said Eric Huston, Marketing Director, Mars Petcare. “What sets the CRAVE™ brand apart is that we’re offering specialty-quality nutrition at a price designed for the masses, making it affordable and convenient for all pet owners to implement a protein-rich diet that satisfies their dog or cat’s inner animal.”
The full 2017 CRAVE™ brand portfolio includes 9 unique and deliciously tasty recipes across dry cat and wet cat food. Specifically:
- CRAVE™ Dry Cat Food: Adult Dry Cat Food With Protein From Chicken; Adult Dry Cat Food With Protein From Salmon & Ocean Fish; Adult Indoor Cat Dry Cat Food With Protein From Chicken & Salmon
- CRAVE™ Wet Cat Food: Turkey Paté; Chicken Paté, Salmon Paté, Chicken & Beef Paté, Turkey & Duck Paté, Salmon & Trout Paté
Each bag and container of CRAVE™ food is grain free, and includes no chicken by-product meal, corn, wheat, soy protein or artificial flavors and artificial preservatives. We’re giving that a two paws up! >^..^<
The packaging and serving sizes for their soft food selection are intelligent and practical. And again, CRAVE™ recipes are crafted with high-quality animal protein, real meat as the first ingredient and no grains making it an exceptional choice for quality nutrition for your special fur baby.

My cat’s name is Simba, and he is the miniature lion king and master in my house. Whenever there is a paper grocery bag on the floor, Simba will pounce on it and start biting and clawing it, practically destroying it in one play sessions. He also goes inside and if I drag his wand toy on the outside he claws at it and eventually makes a hole and puts his paws and even his head through the hole to get at it. A true hunter at heart!
My cat’s name is Missy. She shows her wild side whenever she sees her mouse toy. She will pounce on it, fling it in the air and attack it.
My cats name is Bella she shows their wild side whenever someone she doesn’t like crosses into ‘her’ territory. By the way, her territory is the kitchen sink… Which was fine until.. The sod worked out how to turn the tap on…
My cata name is Gizmo she shows her wild side by the way she stalks and hunts her prey. She is an amazing hunter in the wild and always catches her birds, chimpmunks and mice. She is amazing when it comes to sneaking up on any prey.
My cats name is Tinkerbutt. He shows his wild whenever he climbs and perches atop wall dividers that are throughout my home. He enjoys stalking the dogs and pouncing at just the right time to make them run. He was rescued as a very small kitten, by my grandkids, when his mom was killed by a car. I do my best to nurture his wild side and I encourage him to act as his ancestors.
My cats name is Charity and she shows her wild side whenever she sprints thru the house chasing her imaginary prey.
My cat’s name is Kitty. She shows her wild side whenever she attacks my legs as I walk by (which happens too often). I think she thinks I am a gazelle that she must pursue! So I say to the mighty hunter “No! No!”
My cats name is Ninja. She shows her wild side whenever she hunts my feet through the sheets.
“My cats name is Itty Bitty. She shows her wild side whenever she hunts and bats her toys around the house. She stalkes them and pounces on them just like the wild black jungle panther that she knows she is deep down inside. “

I’ve spent a lot of time pondering what is the best food to feed my cats, Katie and Paige show their wild side whenever they see flies and spiders which is like watching a Greek play, they battle they siege, and they conquer
then collapse for a long well deserved nap only to wake hungry as lions devouring their food and looking for the
next conquest.
My cats name is Elvis! He shows his wild side whenever he plays with his favorite catnip balls and kickers, laying on his side, grasping the toy in his paws, licking, clawing and kicking it furiously! He is SERIOUS about his prey.
My cats name is Lulu. She shows their wild side whenever we go to bed. During these late night prowls of independence she stalks all sorts of prey, including our unsuspecting toes as we sleep under the covers. She fearlessly attacks anything that moves (even though her success rate at actually catching anything is a work in progress). Our little lioness, queen of the urban jungle we live in.
My cats name is Noel she shows their wild side whenever she climbs up our cat post onto the tops of our book cases where she goes wild and rolls around up there as if she were in a tree.

Munch as the alpha male and king of the hill [at age 15] sits back and watches in bemusement until it gets old- then he attacks his scratching post and falls asleep.
My cat’s name is Sugar. She shows their wild side whenever I bring out a wand toy. He leaps as high as my shoulder (and I am a tall woman) to catch the toy.

He guards it with claws and teeth and hisses and growls at his siblings so they have no doubt about his claim.
My cats name is Lancelot, he shows his wild side by always trying be adventurous outdoor, (wile on his harness of coarse 😁) he is always so fun a energy and isn’t very vocal like most Siamese. He is a quite chirper for sure. Always being sweet and loving like his ancestors before.☺️

My cat’s name is Opi. He shows his wild side when he runs through the house with his tail straight up in the air.

He indeed believes he is the king of the jungle during these forays.
My cats names are Sundae and Alani. They show their wild side whenever they are out in the garden. Alani is an avid hunter of grasshoppers, stalking, pouncing then enjoying a tasty treat. Sundae misses the mark a bit. She is a mouse lover. Literally. She catches them, plays (very gently) with them, then lets them go. She will often bring her “friends” home to introduce them to me…

Chomp, spit it out, chomp, spit it out, chomp, spit it out, until the roll is dead and poses no threat of flying off the roll and suffocating him!

My cats’ name are Annabelle, Ren Nekko, Yumi, Emi, and Pippa. Long-haired tortie Annabelle seems almost clinically dead, lying around like a big furry mat. Until she decides to show her wild side whenever another cat shows up outside the door, then she is our Fiercest Cat and the ‘Queen of the House’ turns into the ‘Queen of the jungle’, telling off the interlopers in no uncertain terms. Ren Nekko really believes she is Queen of the Jungle as she runs right up the side of our very tall cat tree. Zoom! Up she goes, showing the world her wild side, meowing wildly with big round eyes and laid back ears. Yumi — mistakenly, according to Annabelle — believes she is queen of the house. But when Yumi spies her friends (enemies? prey?) the Canada geese, she shows her wild side and becomes queen of the jungle, running from window to window, chattering and chirping away at the top of her lungs. Emi Babbit really shows her wild side whenever when she is playing with her stuffed toy mice (string tail included–she needs the string since she is missing her right front leg; she grabs her mice in her teeth to throw them into the air. and up the stairs. and down the stairs), the undisputed Queen of the Jungle, the Woods, the Prairie, etc., tossing those mousies high and far and wide. Pippa, despite her myriad health issues, is the sunniest, funniest, happiest, most enthusiastic little queen of the jungle there is. She is called our ‘Wild Child’. And rightly so. She shows her wild side in her cat tree. She shows her wild side in her cat tunnel. She shows her wild side whenever and wherever. No toys are safe, no toes are safe, nothing is safe from the Wild Pippa.
My cats name is Yoda. He shows their wild side whenever…By races wildly around the room, jumping from one cat tree to the other until he is king of the hill

My cats names is are Moko, Arata, and Kotoha. Kotoha is a former feral cat – I found her when she was just two weeks old and bottle fed her until she could eat on her own. She’s now a beautiful, happy, healthy one-year-old cat. Kotoha shows her wild side whenever she gets her paws on her favorite toy(s). She never had to hunt for herself, but she acts like she’s hunting when she plays. When she’s tired, she curls up with me and takes a long nap!
My cat’s name is Mimi. She shows their wild side whenever she starts playing with her kitty stick and rabbits foot. Once finished, Mimi sits regally on the floor and demands a brushing! Mimi is definitely queen of the jungle!

Hi, my cats name is Tarzan since he was born in a very wooded area in Pennsylvania. He shows his wild side when we play with his “bird on a fishing pole”. He can easily jump about 3ft into the air to catch the bird.
