Highlighted Reviews

— Linda

"He loves to eat but this kitten food is his favorite. He has left some food in the bowl when I feed him the other brands but he licks the dish when I feed him Instinct."

— Marlene

"Very expensive for something the cat would not eat. I bought it for a specific cat but 2 others didn't eat it either."

Bottom Line

Recommended if your kitten enjoys wet foods, but be prepared for potential pickiness and the high price. Smaller portion sizes may be less likely to fix picky eaters but certainly don't solve the problem.
