I fed this product to my cat and my roommate's cat. I was experimenting with food since the cats are almost 1, and I wanted to introduce different kinds of adult food so they'd get used to them. I mixed half Science Diet dry kitten food with this product, and the cats began to eat less. I was worried about how much they were eating (nearly 1/4 their original diet) so I filled one bowl with this indoor cat food and one bowl with their kitten food. They barely touched the indoor cat food, while eating most of their kitten food. I ended up having to mix some canned cat food in with it to get them to eat.

Part of it might be that the food is triangular and much larger than the kitten food. They had a hard time eating it at first, since they were used to the small pieces of the kitten food.

Don't be discouraged, though. My cat can't tell the difference between the kitten food and the regular adult food. They really enjoy Science Diet's fish flavored food, so give that a try.

I have two cats and both of them were a little overweight. I fed them science diet 'light' for quite a while before the 'indoor' came out. Does not seem to be much difference between the 'light' and 'indoor' except for 'indoor' is a little more expensive (same price but less food).

The claimed hairball control does not seem to work. My mid-hair cat still occasionally has hairball problem and I have to give him other stuff to ease that. Nutrition wise, I don't know. I did not switch back to the 'light' just because its name (for indoor cat), but I think essentially they are the same thing.
