Is there a run on cat food? [View all]

My upcoming Chewy delivery will be missing several items because they were out of stock, so I swung by Target to pick up some Fancy Feast and treats. The Fancy Feast shelves were nearly empty and I wound up buying more than I had planned in varieties my cats aren’t that fond of, just because I was afraid of running out.

I think we’re having another of those weird shortages we have nowadays.
