I didn’t know if upgrading my cat’s food was going to be worth it, but it’s definitely worth the hype. When my best friend saw me unboxing my first Smalls delivery—fresh, human-grade cat food—she jokingly asked, “Is your cat eating better than you?” The food looked more like something I’d pull out of the fridge for a midday snack (though I’ll stick to my post-climbing smoothies, thank you very much!). 

Between my time as a content creator, rock climbing enthusiast, and newly married woman, I wasn’t sure if I needed to add “gourmet cat chef” to my resume. But after learning that 88% of cats showed improved energy and digestion on Smalls, I decided to take their 1-minute quiz to find the best option for my cat and give their vet-approved formulas a try.

What happened next completely changed how I think about pet nutrition:

1. My Cat Is Begging for Their Food Like a Treat

Gone are the days of my cat giving their food bowl the side-eye. From the moment I placed that first serving of Smalls fresh food in my cat’s bowl, everything changed. The variety of preservative-free options—from tender chicken to succulent fish—meant I could customize their menu based on their preferences. The best part? Smalls offers a quick quiz to help tailor meals to your cat’s specific tastes and needs.

It’s not about being anti-kibble (because let’s be real, sometimes you need that convenience), but about adding nutrient-rich, high-protein options to their diet. My cat now does a little dance around their bowl at mealtime, which makes for some pretty entertaining TikTok content!

2. I Unlocked My Cat’s Playful Side

Within weeks of introducing Smalls, I noticed my cat seeming happier and more social. They started engaging more during playtime, showing interest in their toys for longer periods, and even initiating more interactive sessions. This wasn’t just a coincidence—88% of Smalls customers report increased energy levels in their cats after switching to a fresh diet. I also noticed their coat getting shinier, and they seemed more hydrated, a bonus I hadn’t anticipated.

3. The Litter Box Situation Got a Major Upgrade

Let’s have a real talk about something every cat parent deals with—the litter box situation. Working from home means I’m extra aware of any…aromatic issues. After switching to Smalls, the change was dramatic. Not only did unpleasant odors decrease significantly, but my cat’s digestive health improved overall. It makes sense when you think about it—their formulas are preservative-free and packed with high-quality, human-grade ingredients that are easier for cats to digest. This improvement alone made the switch worthwhile!

4. Mealtime Has Never Been Easier

Between creating content, maintaining my social media presence, and pursuing my active lifestyle, the last thing I need is to worry about running out of cat food. Smalls solved this with their convenient delivery service that brings fresh, frozen food right to my door. The ordering process is completely customizable, and their packaging is designed to keep everything fresh until I’m ready to use it. Plus, knowing that every formula is vet-approved gives me peace of mind that I’m providing the best possible nutrition for my fur baby.

The most surprising part? Even though Smalls is fresh, human-grade cat food, incorporating it into our routine was incredibly simple. The food arrives frozen, and I just move portions from the freezer to the fridge as needed. For someone who’s constantly balancing a busy social and professional life, this hassle-free system has been a game-changer.

Switch your cat to Smalls—they’ll be sure to thank you!

After experiencing these transformations firsthand, I completely understand why 88% of Smalls customers report improvements in their cats’ overall well-being. They really weren’t kidding when they said their food helps turn 9 lives into 10!
