Furry PI's verdict

The label tells a weaker story than the front of the pack suggests for Diamond Naturals Indoor Cat. Grains crowd the top of the ingredient list. To be fair, includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as chicken and chicken fat. On balance, most cats are better served by stronger options — the app can suggest better-graded foods of the same type.

What's concerning

Chicken meal leads, but grains — ground white rice and cracked pearled barley — dominate the rest of the list.
Contains grain sorghum, a lower-quality ingredient.
A high carbohydrate load for an obligate carnivore — a cat's natural prey is almost carb-free.

What works

Includes genuinely beneficial ingredients such as chicken and chicken fat.
