In 1982, Fancy Feast was introduced in 3-ounce cans of wet food in seven different varieties. It was the first cat food to market itself as "
gourmet". In its original commercial, an announcer said, "Your cat give you that cold shoulder when you serve cold,
leftover cat food? Watch it warm up to Fancy Feast". It also featured a white
Persian cat that talked in her thoughts. It was sold along with
Friskies and other pet foods in 1985 to Nestlé, and the merger became
Friskies PetCare Company. ==Controversy==
