Review: I will tell you that I bought this for my older cat with a puny digestive system. She would not eat regular kibble regardless of the expense. Because I was feeding my two dogs raw freeze dried food and I was happy with that, I decided to try this as kind of a last resort. Wow! My little skinny kitty actually eats this. She seems to have more energy and is more perky. Her stools are well formed. The texture of the food is soft, so it is good for older cats and I can tell that her health has improved just by her parking us and disposition. l thank you Instinct and so does my Crumpy
Review: One of my cats has an issue in that she throws up a lot, and usually what she would throw up would be her dry cat food. I thought I would try this product because while she clearly loves dry food and wet food, I could not continue to feed her this or any similar dry food. She enjoys this food very much, it gives her a little bit of the “chew“ similar to some types of dry food, but it is easy for her to digest, and she enjoys it very much by eating every morsel I give to her every day. Yes, it’s costly and I call it her bougie food, but my girl loves it and she’s worth it.

**Q: How many meals can this bag feed an adult house cat?**
A: 4.75 cups in the bag and no, you probably can’t afford to feed this to your cat exclusively.

**Q: Can you mix it with kibble?**
A: Instinct sells the same product labeled as Toppers in smaller bags to mix with kibble, which is useful to transition your cat to eating raw. I have achieved the total transition and now have stopped serving kibble at all.

*by I***S on 20 May 2025*

I like the size and how they rehydrate. Kitty won't eat them dry and has to be in the right mood to eat them wet, so they last forever. I wish he liked them better. I still think it's a good product.
