For a feline, the mouse makes an extremely well-balanced meal. Cat's Lunch packaging might not contain rodent-derived ingredients, but it asserts that its contents match all of the nutritional benefits of the notorious cheese lovers.

Alexandra Istratova wrapped the [individual sausages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatcrafters) with paper sleeves. These have been perforated into seven sections, suggesting the ideal size of slice that would make a single serving. Each of these tear-off bands on Cat's Lunch packaging has been decorated with [cartoony graphics of mice](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mofusand), making up three slightly different varieties of bands. One features a series of scurrying mice, another has two facing towards the product's logo, and the third displays dietary icons within the body of the critter.
