Feed Meow Indoor Mackerel Feast Wet Cat Food
Verified Jun 11, 2026
A shredded wet food formulated for indoor cats of all life stages, using mackerel and bream as the primary animal protein sources in a gravy-style broth. It’s relatively low in fat and includes added fiber (powdered cellulose, inulin) to help support healthy weight, along with supplemental taurine and omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. This can work well as a main diet or as part of a rotation for cats who enjoy fish-based recipes.
This is a well-formulated, complete and balanced wet food for cats, with fish broth, mackerel, and bream providing the main protein sources and moisture coming primarily from broth rather than plain water. Protein and fat levels are appropriate for a pouch-style wet food, and the added fiber and L-carnitine align with its indoor/weight management positioning. It’s best suited to healthy adult indoor cats and kittens who tolerate fish well and benefit from a lower-calorie, higher-fiber wet option.

KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Named fish ingredients (mackerel and bream) and fish broth at the top of the list provide clear, animal-based protein and good palatability for most cats.
- Complete and balanced for all life stages according to AAFCO nutrient profiles, so it’s suitable for kittens through adults when fed as directed.
- Includes added taurine, omega-3 and -6 fatty acids, and L-carnitine, which support essential heart, eye, skin/coat, and metabolic functions.
- Higher moisture and relatively modest fat content can be helpful for indoor cats that need controlled calories and extra hydration from their diet.
Considerations
- Fish-based recipes can be problematic for cats with fish allergies or for individuals that don’t do well on fish-heavy diets long term; some veterinarians prefer rotating with non-fish proteins.
- Powdered cellulose is a concentrated fiber source used here to boost fiber for weight control; while safe, a few cats may have softer stools or mild GI changes when fiber increases.
- Formulated by nutrient profiles rather than confirmed in AAFCO feeding trials, so actual in vivo digestibility and long-term performance haven’t been independently verified.
- The relatively low fat level may not be ideal for very active, underweight, or high-energy cats that need a more calorie-dense diet to maintain body condition.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Fish Broth
Fish broth is used in pet food primarily as a flavor and moisture enhancer, providing modest amounts of fish-derived protein, amino acids, minerals and sometimes trace omega‑3s but not serving as a primary source of complete nutrition. It can improve hydration and entice picky, senior, or ill dogs and cats to eat, but caregivers should watch for high sodium, added seasonings (especially onion or garlic), potential fish allergies, and variable quality depending on processing.
02
Mackerel
Mackerel is a fatty fish commonly used in pet foods as a high‑quality animal protein and a rich source of omega‑3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), often added for flavor, palatability and healthy fats. Its omega‑3s support skin and coat condition, immune and joint health in dogs and cats, but owners should be aware of potential heavy‑metal accumulation, food sensitivities, and higher fat or sodium in some preparations, so choose properly processed, deboned sources from reputable suppliers.
03
Bream
Bream is used in pet foods as a muscle-based fish protein that provides high-quality animal protein, palatability and marine-derived nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals that support skin, coat and lean muscle maintenance. Considerations for pet parents include possible fish allergies in some dogs or cats, variability in contaminant levels and nutrient content depending on source, and the importance of using sustainably sourced, deboned and properly processed bream as part of a balanced, complete diet rather than the sole ingredient.
04
Flaxseed Oil
Flaxseed oil is used in pet foods and supplements as a concentrated fat source rich in omega‑3 alpha‑linolenic acid (ALA) and omega‑6 linoleic acid to support skin and coat condition and provide essential fatty acids. While it can improve coat quality and has modest anti‑inflammatory potential in dogs, cats convert ALA to the biologically active EPA/DHA poorly so fish or algal oils are preferred for long‑chain omega‑3s; flax oil is calorie‑dense, prone to oxidation (store refrigerated and use antioxidants), and may cause gastrointestinal upset in some animals, so dosing should follow a veterinarian’s guidance.
05
Cellulose Powder
Cellulose powder is an insoluble, plant-derived fiber commonly used in pet foods as a bulking agent, binder and calorie-diluting texturizer to help control weight and improve stool formation; it is not digestible by dogs or cats and contributes negligible energy or vitamins. While it can aid stool consistency and manufacturing performance, cellulose is non‑fermentable so offers little prebiotic benefit, and high inclusions can reduce palatability or displace nutrients—formulations, especially for cats with lower fiber tolerance, should be balanced accordingly.
