Baby Food is not just for babies. I'm a senior citizen, and I can't always make it to the store. These jars are so handy, and it's just enough food to keep your stomach satisfied. I've eaten these Gerber meats for years. It makes life simpler when Amazon delivers these to your door.
I bought these for my cats who were very ill with a kidney infection and not eating. They ate this with a little water on the plate, do it helped them get some nutrition. I'll always keep it available for any future needs. Also works great for teaching foster kittens to eat, and to put over canned food for Momma cats who need extra calories.
This stuff is irresistible to cats. I used it to catch and socialize some 14-week-old semi-feral kittens. I put it in the traps, and caught most of them the first night. Of course at first, they trembled in fear whenever they saw me. I put this stuff on my fingers, and they licked it off in spite of their fear. Within days, they were purring, while being pet, without any food incentive. This stuff helped them associate human hands with the pleasure of food. I highly recommend it if you're trying to make friends with a new or unsociable cat. Be careful when buying baby food for cats. This stuff is pretty much just water and chicken, but some other ones have ingredients like onion, which is bad for kitties.
All I can really say about this is my 35 pound, orange tabby kitty cat absolutely loves Gerber Baby Food Ham! I bought it for him for a treat once and he learned to audibly say the word "HAM" with that first meal. I'm a vegetarian and I don't have children but I have a orange kitty that will tell you this is the best stuff he's every eaten!
I know Gerber chicken baby food was created for little human nutrition, but it can be utilized for so much more.... When I'm weaning my kittens from milk to wet food, the chicken baby food is slurped up with uncanny enthusiasm. The nutrition is potent for the little kittens growth and overall health. Also, I have an elderly cat that's 15 years old. The baby food provides vital nutrition when grandpa feels finicky. This is a great nutritional food for cats and humans.
This is good to get medication down the cat. Note: It is not the primary food that I give my cats. My cats mostly eat cat foods that have the right nutrients for them. This should not be something you give to your cat instead of cat food. But my vet suggested baby food for helping to get medication down the cat -and it works great. My cat eats the baby food with medication, no problem.
"Kitty crack," as this food is affectionately known, is excellent for encouraging shy young kittens to warm up to you. The Gerber 2nd foods that only include meat and corn starch are all excellent for this purpose, but turkey seems to be a crowd favorite. It's also excellent for encouraging finicky cats to eat. If you feed an entire bottle to your cat, beware of liquid poo.
As per our vet's instructions, we bought a lot of this for syringe feeding our sick and anorexic cat. But try to only use it as a supplement – baby food is not enough nutrition for daily feeding. You might want to try pureeing regular cat food with a bit of water and see if your kitty takes to that, or mixing the puree with the baby food. Good luck!
The chicken and gravy baby food is very pungent and great for hiding the smell and taste of medications for my cats. I have several elderly cats who get arthritis meds each morning. I mix the powder medication with the baby food and they eat all of it. I am also the caretaker of a feral cat colony and neighborhood stray cats. When I see very ill cats and cats with infections from wounds (usually from bites), I crush antibiotics and mix it with the baby food to help them out. I would strongly recommend this product.

Good for helping get cats to take their medicine
This stuff is good for getting cats to take their medicine--cover the medicine in this baby food and there's a good chance that the cat will eat it--

Good for getting medicine into the cat.

This should not be something you give to your cat instead of cat food. But my vet suggested baby food for helping to get medication down the cat -and it works great.
