The wet food mine have isn't in either. I buy Hills and Applaws 99% of the time and Applaws is in the water it was cooked in and Hills is a pate.

Ooops forgot to put pate option on the poll :doh:

I have never heard of Applaws,is it a much better food than the ordinary stuff?  I might look into getting my puddycats some of it if its not out of my price range.  I usually get felix/whiskas/sheba/kitekat/goumet? ( I think thats what its called) whatevers on offer usually at the time :-[  my budget isn't big but I will starve anyday for my furbabies to have a good feed :Luv:

Here's the product info for Applaws: http://www.mpmproducts.co.uk/?in_section=applaws&page=applaws_product_information

The website says "Applaws is really different, It contains only natural ingredients, It has 75% meat content! It is completely additive free. All our fish are caught in sea water using dolphin friendly methods. Our chickens are fed only organic feed and are entirely hormone free."

It costs £28.32 for 48 x 70g tins and £47.52 for 48 x 156g tins.Postage is about £4 I think.  It says on the tin that an average size cat should eat 1 x 156g tin a day if fed as the only food.

Mine eat jelly, gravy, pate, shredded in broth... whatever!  Not fussy.   I think most wet foods have about the same moisture content irrespective of whether they're in jelly or gravy or whatever.
