Senior IBS/IBD feline loves this flavor
By catgirl28 on Oct 11, 2020
originally purchased this for my senior (14 yrs young) IBS/IBD kitty who can no longer eat chicken, fish, or beef. Grateful that he loves it as it has a nice gravy so I can easily mix his supplements into it. None of my other cats will eat it though so ymmv based your precious felines' tastebuds. Too many peas & carrots for my liking but I pick them out before feeding to my cat.

My cat loves this!
By TRB3 on Sep 25, 2020
My 12.5 year old girl cat became super picky about food after an intense sickness spell. She stopped eating most of the food she previously enjoyed. I tried many different new foods, and found that she absolutely loves this. It's great to see her back eating and gaining back some of the weight she lost while very sick. She definitely loves lamb!

This food is too fat for my cats
By Mila on Sep 3, 2020
Cats love Instinct rabbit and venison. It seems like this lamb food is too fat for them; both somewhat vomited after eating it, and they vomited mostly fatty liquid with some particles of meat. I will try to give them this food again, and if they have digestive problems again, then I will donate it.

One of Gus’s favorites
By Sophiedog on Nov 20, 2019
My cat Gus had to be switched to a partially wet diet recently. He is 9 1/2 yrs old. I needed to remove the peas and legumes from his diet as well because we found out he had an enlarged heart. I tried a few different 95% meat varieties on him and decided that the Instinct brand was his favorite. He loves chicken, rabbit, duck, and lamb. The texture is more like ground meat which he prefers. I think he finds it easier to pick up the food with his tongue. This food does have some peas in it though. However, the peas are whole and can be picked out, which I do. Given the issue with DCM and peas/legumes in pet food, I wish Instinct would completely remove the peas.

My daughter’s cat ate the same dry food for life and also has an enlarged heart. As I said though, you can pick the peas out. My cat adores the food. … more

HEALTHY for kitty
By Bodie on Nov 14, 2019
Instincts one of the best for high protein I think. I am not expert. My kitty was sick and my vet recommended Lamb for easy digestion. We had Hounds and Gatos Lamb for a long time till one day my kitty said nope, I am over this so we tried this but I think he just doesn't dig Lamb anymore...he is over it so on we go to find a new alternative. I would definitely recommend - gave 4 stars cause my guy said no.

Too liquidy
By Stephanie on Jun 13, 2019
I've gotten used to the Instinct 5.5 oz cans being liquidy, but this was over the top. There was so much liquid in the can that there was no where near 5.5 oz of solid food. Also only one of my cats would even touch it. They use good ingredients, but since I am splitting a can between two cats, I don't know that they are really getting enough food because they frequently weigh .2 -.4 ounces less than the can says.

Probably good for some cats
By meeyra on Jul 1, 2019 Top 1000 Contributor
This was rated good so I decided to give it a try - my cat decided after 2 cans she d idn't like it. In her defense, it's watery & has a weird texture, not your normal smooth pate & it has carrots in it - I d idn't think that would be an issue but apparently my cat feels it is.
