What the manufacturer claims

Pros
- 60% tuna. Fish is the main ingredient.
- Short recipe. Tuna, a little rice, water, minerals and a thickener.
- No colours or preservatives.
- High moisture. 86% adds extra fluid.
- Single-serve pouch. 70 g is one meal.
- A favourite flavour. Most cats love tuna in jelly.
Cons and what to watch
- Error in the description. It mentions "whole pieces of salmon" and seaweed, which are not in the ingredients — boilerplate text from another flavour.
- Very low fat. At 0.3% it provides too little energy as a sole food.
- No taurine or vitamins listed. It is called complete, but only minerals are listed — it is safer to combine it with a complete food.
- Tuna only. Not suitable for cats allergic to fish.
How to feed it
The easiest way is to use Vibrisse Jelly as a tasty extra: one pouch a day with a complete dry food or as a separate treat. If you want to feed your cat only wet food, choose cans with stated taurine and vitamins — for example NUEVO Cat Adult Beef. Dry and wet feeding are compared in what to feed a cat: dry or wet food.
Tuna: benefits and caution
Tuna smells and tastes very appealing to cats, so pouches like this help when a cat eats poorly or is recovering from illness. But fish food should not be given in large amounts every day as the only food — the diet should be varied and balanced. Rotate flavours and combine the pouch with a main food.
Moisture in the diet
Cats drink little, and this pouch is 86% liquid. That is especially useful for cats on dry food and for neutered and older cats. A cat's water needs are covered in how much water a cat should drink.
Storage and serving
A 70 g pouch is meant for one meal. If your cat does not finish it, move the rest into a closed container and put it in the fridge — according to the card, opened food keeps for up to 48 hours. Let it warm to room temperature before feeding. Remove leftovers from the bowl after 20–30 minutes.
Calories
Because the fat is so low, the pouch barely adds to the diet's calories, which makes it handy for cats prone to weight gain. But keep in mind that a cat living on pouches alone may not get enough energy. Feeding schedules are covered in how many times a day to feed a cat.
How to introduce it
Start with half a pouch added to the usual food and check the stool. If all is well, you can give a full portion. A sudden change of diet often upsets a cat's stomach — tips are in how to switch your pet to a new food.
Who it suits
The pouch suits fussy cats, cats that drink little and owners who want a light, tasty topper for dry food. It does not suit cats allergic to fish. Other cans are in the canned cat food section.
Verdict
Vibrisse Jelly tuna in jelly is a steamed 70 g pouch: 60% tuna, rice, minerals and gum, 11% protein, 0.3% fat, with no colours or preservatives. The downsides are the mistaken mention of salmon and seaweed in the description, the very low fat and no stated taurine or vitamins, so it is better used as a complement.
