ADULT INSTINCTIVE™ features the optimal balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates that adult cats prefer.

A moderate energy level to help adult cats maintain their ideal weight.

ADULT INSTINCTIVE™ features a proven Macro Nutrient Profile that is instinctively preferred by adult cats. This profile represents the ratio of energy derived from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. A Macro Nutrient Profile also influences long term palatability and dietary satisfaction. A cat’s specific Macro Nutrient Profile varies not only according to its age, but also the cat’s physiological condition.

An adult cat is prone to developing lower urinary tract diseases, including crystals, and feline idiopathic cystitis. ADULT INSTINCTIVE is formulated with an adapted mineral content to help promote lower urinary tract health. A high moisture content helps reduce urine concentration.

Royal Canin’s unique Macro Nutrient Profile guarantees exceptional palatability and long term preference.

Happy cat!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While our cat likes wet food, this took her experience to a whole new level. I moved her bowl and she followed me around, making sure she would not miss out and pawing at my hand to give her the food! Great quality, easy open can, perfect portion. This is her new favorite! Recommend!

Amazing food!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cats are picky eaters when it comes to wet food. They love the gravy more then anything! Usually there isn’t a lot in the canned food I usually buy and end up throwing most of the food out. My cats loved this one! Ate the whole thing!

The cats loved it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are happy we purchased this cat food. Our two cats seemed to really like it! The texture was consistent, as soon as I opened the can my cats came running! I know they can’t speak but the speed at which they are it tell me they loved it!

Its okay...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cat thought it was okay. It wasnt something he ran to eat or really enjoyed but he ate it. I dont think I would buy it again because he was ify about it. I would try other flavors from this brand though.

Love the smaller can!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My cat loves Royal Canin wet food, so this was a must try! I appreciate the smaller can as we were wasting too much with the larger size. We will definitely continue to purchase this! My cat is 14 years old so finding a food formulated for older cats is also really nice!

Cats approved!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have two cats, they tend to be pretty picky when it comes to their food. I was actually happy to see that they really liked this! We have tried Royal Canin in the past and had good experiences and this was another good experience. This product says it’s good for indoor cats who can be overweight, which is one of my cats. Both cats seemed to like the taste because they both ate it up. The can size is a smaller can, which is good for portion control. We use the smaller can for our cats anyways. The smell seemed like cat food to me.

cat approved

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This food was perfect for the cats in our house. The cans are the perfect portion and come in a variety of flavors. They are easy to open and don't smell as awful as typical canned cat food. Our 3 cats gobbled it right up which to me means they love it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good soft food for their cats.
