Instinct Original Grain-Free Pate Recipe Variety Pack Wet Canned Cat Food

I have 3 feral/community cats that joined me in April of 2020 (worst time EVER). Up until 3 months ago they ate Friskies canned food - mostly pate but occasionally other varieties. Then they stopped eating canned food at all but continued with their dry food. I have tried many varieties including other high-end foods such as Blue Buffalo, etc.without success. Unfortunately, they did not like this wet food, either. I ended up giving it to another cat owner and her cats LOVED it. So I will continue my hunt - wish me luck. PS: Shipping was quick. Product arrived in great condition. Chewy was great - I just have finicky cats.

Our cat (a rescue) suffers from some health issues, including constipation. He also can be very finicky with what he eats, occasionally turning his nose from something he used to devour. A few recent internet searches recommended this brand for constipation so we bought a case. He LOVES all 3 flavors (though, like me, he refuses to eat any peas). All natural and packed with juice which he licks up completely. We've noticed an improvement with his system as well after adding these to his rotation.

My first thoughts when I cracked open one can of Duck to feed my kitty was that I thought it was supposed to be Paté. There was a solid hunk of food but the amount of liquid that poured our of the can was alarming and my cat was so-so about eating it. Same thing when I opened the can of Salmon. Total opposite when I opened a can of the chicken flavor: no juice whatsoever.(Kitty devoured the chicken.

My Buddy cat loves this ! He was on the nurto wet food and getting diarrhea. They must have changed their recipe cuz I've had Buddy on that brand of food for for year. I decided to switch brands! Buddy gets super excited when I open a can of this food and well, this fur mama loves that the diarrhea is gone!

My two gals are 11 month old kitties, transitioning from kitten to adult cat food. I was seeking a high quality, grain-free recipe option that offered variety and would appeal to my pecky eaters. When I say "pecky", I mean my girls seem to just "peck" at their food and not eat with much gusto. Well, the Instinct variety pack has just what they crave, and both kitties are eating more enthusiastically. Their coats are soft and silky, a noticeable difference and I believe it's due to the change in diet. Like other customers have mentioned, there are whole peas and carrots found in some of the cans. Like other customers, I too find these to be unnecessary ingredients for cats; I believe it's wasteful My two gals are 11 month old kitties, transitioning from kitten to adult cat food.

Recently bought some Instinct dry cat food, and the cats went nuts for it, so, I got this variety pack of wet food to test on the kitties. Everyone likes the salmon flavor, and most will grudging eat the chicken, but no one likes the duck. Now, my cats don't like any of the wild flavors of cat food--duck, rabbit, venison, quail, etc.--so, if yours do, then they may think the duck is fine. (The last two cans of my duck are going to the animal shelter.) Anyway, glad to be able to check out tastes with a variety pack. I now know to get a case of the salmon only.

I was so excited for this food but my cats wouldnt eat, or they'd stop after one bite. I saw another review that said they found bones but i hoped they just got a bad batch. No, every can is full of a million small bone shards and the peas and carrots are hard as rocks. Even the strays wont eat this food. So far nothing has beat Tiki cat in terms of most natural.

The reason I chose Instinct is because my cats were on dry food and let’s just say for personal reasons I decided to change to wet food. My cat was being picky, so a quick search I found picky cats like the chicken pate. I’ve compared price as well as protein, fats, and fiber. I love that they’re high in protein, reasonable fat and fiber. And most importantly this particular brand has the LEAST amount of “potential” harmful food ingredients. I dislike the high price. Zelda and Sesame are my cats, Sesame was like “finally food I deserve”, and Zelda was not. Zelda likes the chicken, HATES the duck! LOVES the salmon. Sesame will eat whatever but because Zelda ONLY likes chicken and salmon I have The reason I chose Instinct is because my cats were on dry food and let’s just say for personal reasons I decided to change to wet food.

Again, the Chicken and Duck seemed edible to the cats but they both RAN from the Salmon when it was put in front of them. I don't blame them, every can looked more like broth than pate. They wouldn't even try it. I wish a variety pack would include something other than Salmon.

We purchased this to try a new food for our cats since the last one didn't seem to be working out well. This is a great option if you want to try out a new brand and several flavors without committing to a whole case. Our cats are definitely much happier with this new food. They weren't a huge fan of the rabbit flavor so we just avoided that one when we purchased full cases. I would love to see this option in other flavors.
