Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. We didn’t fall off the face of the earth, or get swallowed up, or even whisked off by some tornado. Nope, nuffin’ so dramatic. Mommy had lots of human business to attend too, and no time fur kitty bloggin’. I’s gotta tell ya’, I’s don’t like all this human business stuffs and lease re-cert stuffs. I’s’ll be glad when it’s all over.
We all will Raena. We dread this time of year every year. Anyways, we’re furinally here, so let’s not meow ‘bout all that, let’s get on with today’s posty.
You mean our review of that plate of stuffs mommy gave us? I’s think I’s would rather meow ‘bout the weather.
Maybe so Raena, but our furiends just might be innerested in tryin’ it out.
You’re right sissy. And, we’re so fanky fankful to be pawrt of the Chewy Influencer team and have the oppurrtunity to try all these wonderful things out. Mommy, like a lot of our furiends humans’, is always on the lookout fur top notch, good fur us foods and treats. So, when mommy saw Nature’s Variety Instinct as an offurin’ this month, she knew we had to try it. As most of ya’ know by now, we luvs us some duck, so mommy got us the Instinct Healthy Cravings Grain-Free real Duck Recipe in savory gravy 3 oz. food topper. Let’s see what Chewy has to say ‘bout these toppers:

As you can see in the ingredient list, it doesn’t contain any of those questionable ingredients that our humans are always tryin’ to avoid. But, it does contain some ingredients Raena and me try to avoid. MOL Now let me tell ya’, we luv us some of that turkey tom lurkey furesh off the bone, yes we do. But, we don’t like it when it’s been pressed, formed, or otherwise placed in our cat foods.
We sure don’t sissy. I’s don’t know how mommy could have missed this. I’s mean, it’s the furst and third ingredient in the list. Ya’ think she was hopin’ we wouldn’t notice?
Yep Raena, me’s sure she was hopin’ there was enuff duck in there that we wouldn’t even notice the turkey.
Well sissy, she was wrong. We noticed it right away, and turned our noses up.
Me said NO, mommy. Me doesn’t wanna eat it.
Me knows Raena. But sometimes, mommy just can’t take the hint. Did you see her chasin’ me ‘round the house with that plate? Me already told her me didn’t wanna eat it, and here she comes, right over to the scratcher. We never get to eat on the cat furniture. Did she think me would suddenly eat pressed turkey ifin me could eat it on the scratcher? Hmmpht Not happenin’.
Yep, sissy, me either. I’s do have to meow that even tho’ we didn’t like it, the Instinct Grain-Free Wet cat food toppers have some really good ingredients. It also comes in Chicken and Tuna. The savory gravies are a great way to get water into your kitties. They come in a case of 24) 3 oz. packages and range in price from $25.00 to $32.00. So, I’s have to give them at least 1 paw up.
Yep Raena, me will give them a paw up too. Good ingredients are hard to find, so me’s glad to see that Instinct has taken that into account. Has mommy got her breath back from chasin’ me ‘round with the plate?
Yep sissy, and she was a bit disappointed that we wouldn’t even try it. She did say that she must’ve missed all the turkey. She knew it had turkey broth, but her old eyes missed the rest of it. Nevertheless, she says it deserves a thumb up fur the lack of questionable ingredients. But, she said she did wish that when a food said it was one ingredient, that the companies wouldn’t substitute cheaper proteins to make it go further. Ya’ know, this can be a real purroblem fur kitties with food allergies too. So, it’s not just us finicky kitties that this be an issue fur.
That’s so true Raena. Ya’ know we luv Chewy. They carry so many pawsum purroducts fur all the furry, finned and feathered members of your furmily. And they always have a great purrice. There’s an auto ship program so you never have to worry ‘bout runnin’ out of your pets favorites. Don’t worry, you can skip, cancel or delay at anytime. And, you’ll get an email reminder in purrlenty of time to make changes or add extra goodies. Ya’ know, like maybe a bag of treats or that new toy.
Sure ‘nuff sissy. And Chewy offurs speedy furee shippin’ on all orders of $49.00 and over, and a low flat rate shippin’ fur all others. And, we think Chewy customer service reps are the bomb. Ya’ know, any time mommy’s had to call ‘em, they always send a few chin scritches to us and even call us by name. You can check out other great Chewy reviews by checkin’ out the Chewy blog hop here. And, as we do every Furiday, we’re linkin’ up with Rascal, Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur the weekly Pet Parade. Now, let’s go play sissy.
Till the next time………………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

Raena, I’m so impressed by what a beautiful young ladycat you’ve turned into! We humans always tell ourselves we can outsmart our kitties – but that happening is so very rare – and when it does happen – it’s not without the cat knowing it 🙂

The image of your momma chasing your ’round the house with the plate of food has been reenacted many times here at Eastside Cats too! Angel and Chuck don’t understand that chunks are food; they lap at the gravy only! Now Patty O’Malley and Sweetie will eat chunks; they’ll even tear meat off of bones! Stay strong for your momma, girls!

My sisters and I are like you, when dad cooks turky, we do love it when he cuts up little pieces of it for us but we haven’t ever eaten the canned turky, or freeze dried turkey. Our Formerly Feral Brothers and sisters like it though so dad says he might order some and see if they like turkey with duck!
