I have seen so very many posts, now, about store shelves with
no canned cat foods.

How can that be?




And, for such long duration, or so often repeatedly, and in so many different places too?

What is the possible explanation, I wonder, and how are people and their cats dealing, ongoing, with that?
And why? What reasons do you think, any of you?
The truck delivery problems, and staffing shortages? Or the pet food processors, themselves, or what?


I have to have someone else get it for me, so I have not seen any of the store shelves, myself. (But that would distress me if I saw them empty)
I asked for large quantities, in order to stock up, so as not to need to ask for someone to go more often.
I listed some to choose from, that my cat would eat,
and they went to an animal supply/ pet food store,
and could get enough of some of the ones that each specific store carries, for me to be stocked up for months. Each store doesn't ever carry both or all Brands, so sometimes they do go to 2 places, but are then always able to bring plenty of the choices I have given.
Is it that the Grocery stores or large box stores, are not prioritizing cat foods?
Or, is it mainly the Brands that grocery and box stores carry, are in such widespread short supply?
(Btw, I live in a very small apartment, and do not have much space, but I have just 1 older cat, and stacks of cans, plus bags of dry food, don't take much space, and last a long time. )
