Yikes! Sheba is one of the worst things to feed a cat. Please rethink
that.

The little cans of pears do seem to sell quite well here but, I also think
that canned fruit in general is not a big seller to begin with as most of
the stores do not have a very large section of it. I think fresh fruit
sells better.
