Instinct Original Grain-Free Pate Real Chicken Recipe Wet Canned Cat Food

I recently was given a bengal to me by my father due to him having many behavioral issues. On top of that he is very much a picky eater and difficult with his potty time habits. Since getting him on to this food he is doing amazing! He was eating it too fast for a while even to the point of making himself vomit. We quickly figured out how to slow him down and have not had issues since. His coat is a million times softer and he is much less anxious as well. He no longer struggles to poo at all,he previously had minor strain. His mood is also much better he has become extremely affectionate, well even more than he already was! His energy has risen as well but not with any negative issues. HIGHLY I recently was given a bengal to me by my father due to him having many behavioral issues.

My cats love the other Instinct flavors so I thought I'd try this one since it's cheaper than the others. They really don't care for it. Actually 1 out of my 3 I feed it to won't even eat it, and the other two eat it reluctantly. It's not the same texture as the other flavors, it's more like a sticky paste rather than chunky and meat-like. I won't be getting this again.

We switched from Tiki Cat over to Instinct to keep them on a healthy food that is a little less expensive. My 2 kitties liked it while they were mixed during the transition time, but then turned their snoots up at it alone. I'm thinking it is because of the soft soupy texture. Not very pate-like at all. Looks like it's back to the drawing board!

Original Instinct chicken Pate is the best wet food ever. I did extensive research on cat foods because my cat had been severely ill and had no interest in eating. Many cat foods have harmful ingredients in them. This one has no harmful ingredients, and does have everything a cat needs to survive. Instinct saved my cats life because she started eating again when I gave her this food. Now she weighs 9 lbs and gaining. She loves this and will eat 3 ounces, and licks the plate clean. And another 3 ounces for supper. It has a lot of fluid in it for much needed hydration. I am going to do what I read in another review and add 2 Tbl water or unsalted chicken broth for even more hydration. Is also Original Instinct chicken Pate is the best wet food ever.

This isnt pate, its like soup. I ordered 5.2 oz pate that should be 2 meals but how it looks like a lot of soup this will take one meal only. I was wiling to try this healthier option than fancy feast but Im going to look for other brand.

After having a lot of issues with one of my cats, it was suggested by 2 vets that I place him in simpler diet. After many tries with other brands, he did eat this one. All of the cats like it after ignoring it a couple of times. It has a strong smell, and the poop will be stinky as well, but the benefits for the health of our feline babies has been proven. It is expensive, but you save in vet's bills. I still give them Blue Buffalo limited ingredients kibble half and half to save some money, Blue Buffalo has very good natural ingredients without all that bad sstuff

I got this for my 15 y/o, Buster who suffers from loss of motor function in his back legs, and then a bout of cystitis. The first can went down fast and I thought, "alright!" But after that he kind of refused it and I had to cover it with another food to get him to eat it. 2 weeks later and he is doing better- every added day is a blessing.

Like most pate's I've tried, I expected to see a more solid version, but instead it poured out of the can like soup... Sadly, my cats would not eat it so I'm glad I only bought the one can... However, (to me) it does smell better than Fancy Feast...

This pate is very soupy. Too much liquid, you can pour it from the can. Also has chunks of peas and carrots in it. Not sure why carnivorous cats need those. On the plus side my cat likes the taste but he likes all canned food!

I have been purchasing this for over 5 years now. My big tom cat loves it. My other cats get the Instinct dry food and they try to steal his instinct original. Who cares how it looks ... its for cats not people !
