Tender Vittles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tender Vittles was a brand of cat food manufactured by Nestlé under the Purina name. The cat food was previously made by Ralston Purina Company, which was purchased by Nestlé. The name is a phonetic spelling of the phrase "Tender Victuals", which tended to be mispronounced by consumers.
As of March 2007, the Tender Vittles product line was discontinued in the United States.
