ST. LOUIS, July 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Every cat owner knows how difficult it can be to impress their furry feline. Taking on one of his toughest challenges, celebrity chef, restaurateur and animal lover Richard Blais teamed up with Fancy Feast® to show cat lovers that there's no better way to wow their cats than with Fancy Feast® Broths. The gourmet cat food brand is revolutionizing the cat food category with the introduction of eight recipes that offer a delicious combination of delectable broth with real seafood and veggies, crafted without by-products or fillers.

"As a professional chef, I strive to make people happy and provide them with a unique and delicious experience with the meals I make," Blais said. "I take great pride in what I serve to my guests – so why should a cat be any different?"

Whether on TV or in his restaurants, Blais has proven that he can amaze just about anyone. But how would he fare when it came to winning over one very important cat?
