Review: Purr-fect Choice for Growing Kittens! - I've been searching for the ideal kitten food to nurture my little fur ball, and Instinct Original Kitten Dry Cat Food has proven to be the purr-fect choice! From the moment I opened the bag, I could tell this was a high-quality product. The ingredients list is impressive, featuring real chicken as the primary protein source, which is crucial for a growing kitten’s development. My kitten, Gabby, absolutely loves the taste! She eagerly devours every meal, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in her energy levels and coat sheen since switching to this brand. The kibble size is just right for her tiny teeth, making it easy for her to chew and digest. I appreciate that Instinct uses natural ingredients without any grain fillers, corn, wheat, or soy, which gives me peace of mind knowing I’m feeding Luna a holistic and nutritious diet. Plus, the inclusion of probiotics helps support her digestive health, which is an added bonus. Overall, Instinct Original Kitten Dry Cat Food has exceeded my expectations. It’s a bit on the pricier side, but the quality and health benefits make it worth every penny. I highly recommend this to any kitten parent looking for a reliable and nutritious food option. Gabby and I couldn’t be happier!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why is there tapioca in this product?  This a starch that turns to sugar.  Why are you using it as a thickening agent?**
A: I don't know, but I have used tapioca starch instead of corn starch in gravy and in stir fry as a thickening agent--it may be that the Instinct is supporting its grain free claim since, according to Wikipedia,tapioca is "...extracted from cassava root (Manihot esculenta). This species is native to the northeast region of Brazil..."

**Q: How many calories per cup are in this kitten food?**
A: Hi Alvin! My name is Cait and I work with Nature's Variety. There are 552 kcals per cup in Instinct Original kibble for kittens.

**Q: Can I add water to make it more like the wet formula? I was gifted the dry kibble, but my kitten has been eating the wet food since I got her**
A: You can soak it in warm water.  It takes a while to soften up.  Then you can mix it in with the wet food.  Eventually the kitten will learn to eat it separate from the the wet food.  I foster kittens and sometimes it takes a while for them to learn to eat the dry food.

**Q: What is the difference between this and the adult cat version?**
A: I don’t see any difference in the ingredients from kitten or adult.  I would think the kitten food ( which I did use) would be easier on their digestive track.  When they were one, I switched to adult.  They both like the turkey. I give wet in am and dry in evening. They are very healthy and indoor only.
