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

My 2 neutered male cats aren't picky. One is a large Manx and the other is an even larger Manx-Turkish Van cross. They eat a lot - they normally polish off their daily dishes of wet food - and often top off their dinner by munching on their always present dried food or the dogs dried food. Not picky until now. I ordered the both the Instinct Chicken recipe pate and the Salmon recipe pate. These two varieties are really not a pate - more like a loose slurry. The chicken recipe got sniffs before they walked off. They both took a couple of bites from the salmon recipe before they tried to bury it and walked off. Can't argue with a two cat opinion.

I have the world’s pickiest cat. In his first months he would only eat baked chicken and drink kitten milk. We were relieved when we finally found a cat food he would eat -Sheba chicken slices (no pate, no fish, just chicken slices.) When my other cats’ food was unavailable, we tried this to replace their Friskies, and the picky cat shoved the other cats out of the way to eat this!

My cat Olive is a bit finicky & is NEVER vocal about eating wet food. I was giving her the Blue Buffalo grain free for years & she real6 wasn't feeling it. We gave this to her yesterday.. Olive went IN! She cleaned the bowl. Today she was vocal meowing letting us know we need to hurry & feed her. Very pleased.. will DEFINITELY buy again!!

Ingredients are good. The chicken pate has a lot of moisture. My cats did enjoy this chicken more than the rabbit. 5 out of 6 of my cats enjoyed it. My cat that wasn’t crazy about it walked away a few times but eventually finished most of it. I think this is a good brand but wasn’t for all of my cats.

It was well received by the outside cats, but lets face it they will eat anything!! I did not like the fact that all were the same flavor, no variety. Also was a little on the runny side. My cats prefer the Friskies.

When I adopted Princess 2 months ago, she was eating Friskies wet and dry and was underweight at just 8 lbs. Like most cats, she didn’t like the change in food right away. It took patience and time, about 3 weeks, until she started gobbling it down. Now she loves meal time and is almost up to 8.7 lbs! She prefers the chicken, duck, and lamb recipes. I’m really impressed with Instinct’s wide array of flavors. Our fur babies need variety just like we do! Unless their recipes change to include unhealthy ingredients, I’ll be sticking with Instinct for the rest of Princess’s life!

I was feeding my cats raw food but that wasn’t working out for us any longer. I needed something as natural as possible that they would like & this fits the bill.

First concern, half cans were dented in both cases. Bought one each on sale chicken & salmon. Have a semi ferral cat. Thought based on company name and ingredients, he would like. Nothing doing. At first if I left it down long enough, he'd eat it. Kept stopping and retrying between other brands and homemade. By the last half of cases, even putting out for racoons & oppossums (sp?) etc. wouldn't eat! Are the 50% off offers based on food you're having trouble selling? Requiring purchase of $50 for sale price won't be tried by me again.

My kitty normally eats instinct high protein chicken, but, out of stock. So this was next best thing. Hopefully, her favorite comes in soon.

My 11yrs old cat refuse to eat it. I have to syringe feed him because of his kidney problem. He hates the chicken flavor, duck seems better to him. I finally tried ziwi peak and my cat LOVE it! The instinct recipe is not bad, it have a lot of meat. But you can find big pieces of carrot and peas, which could be the reason of why my cat hate it. Will not buy again.
