Mine for some reason will not try even a bite of NV wet or dry .. I am in the northwest ... Zoey was given the opportunity to try the raw insticts dry and several wets

My two cats have been eating NV Canned Chicken exclusively for a few months.  No problems so far.  No indication of boredom with the food.  I have given the duck flavor to one of them, the other one is not as interested.

Thank you JustMe for this thread.  I too have been feeding NV Instinct for quite some time with no problems.  This evening was another story.  My gang gets only Beef and Lamb. Tonight I opened 3 cans of the Beef....they were ravenous as I was late getting home from work.......

Absolute refusal of the food by all 6....we are in NY

Beef 5.5oz can

This food gets rave reviews on our IBD forum, in particular the rabbit.  I decided to try the food on my non-IBD cat Wilson....he vomited within minutes of eating the NV Instinct Duck, and it was the first time I've ever seen him vomit on food (although there are other foods that he didn't feel well on, he didn't vomit from them).  He ate the chicken a couple times as part of a treat and wouldn't touch it after.  I had him eating EVO 95% venison for a couple weeks and mixed in some NV Instinct venison and within a couple days wouldn't eat any canned foods with venison in them....Could be it wasn't the Instinct Venison, but after three attempts, he is never getting NV Instinct canned again.

I do still want to try the rabbit for one of my IBD cats. 

My cats are kibble and seafood addicts. all the things bad for them : ( im going to order a case of the few ive tried because i did see they picked at the beef. maybe they just need a proper introduction. i like the ingredients and everything about the instinct i just wish they would have liked it from the get go more.

the more i introduced this to them the more they eat. i have one cat who likes the lamb. the other 2 dont like it. 2 of them like the beef also.  we finished that can. we also finished a rabbit can. the only flavor that didnt get touched was the chicken. : / ill try it again another time.  I just ordered a case of lamb, beef, and rabbit.  It seems like its only one of my girls who doesnt seem to be impressed by instincts.

Just picked up a huge bag of chicken instinct dry at the store. will evaluate how they like this compared to others. (chicken prarie, merrick before grain chicken)

Note to JustMe - have purchased 13.2 oz cans (geez, 2.99 here) per your references.  P.S. - nor excatly same :

Calcium min .25%
Phosphorous min .20%
Vitamin E: 25 IU/kg

So some of the other values may be off - I think they just copied the page over.

Omega 6 Fatty Acids (min): 1.00%
Omega 3 Fatty Acids (min): 0.20%

However, the main values - protein, fat, fiber, moisture, and the ingredient label
are the same (so I purchased - since this is a rotation food anyways.)

I waited till the kitties were WEALLY HUNGWY.  This would be their first version of a natural kill food - I thought they would be pleased.  I like the smell of this food, its own natural juices, and how the veggies look more normal.

This is the FIRST CANNED FOOD JIMMY KITTY HAS NOT NEEDED THE FEEDING ROOM !!!

You can't tell how happy I was with that.

Started with heaping teasponss of just the meat.  All kitties ate with gusto.  About hour later, heaping teaspoons to finish half can (proportioned by weight of kitty), adding juice from can to food.  No heating.

Kitties were VEWY VEWY happy with new food  (wish they had game hen).

This is a definite 3 PAWS UP DELIGHT!! (and helps to prepare them for more homemade).

If someone wants to feed this as continual diet for kitties, I would suggest a little supplementation with kitty vitamins just to be on the safe side.  (In the long run, cheaper for multi cat household using 13.2 oz cans).
