Sensitive digestion in cats
Some cats have soft stools, occasional vomiting or wind without any serious illness — signs of sensitive digestion. Foods for these cats use a limited set of easily digestible proteins, fibre sources and prebiotics. But if symptoms persist, have your vet rule out disease first. On choosing food by its label, see how to read pet food ingredients.

Ingredients
Fresh lamb and dehydrated turkey are the main animal proteins. Green peas add amino acids and rice provides carbohydrates. Pumpkin supplies gut-friendly fibre and apples provide prebiotics. Dried Antarctic krill is a source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA for skin, coat and eyesight. Blueberries and cranberries contain antioxidants, and cranberries are traditionally used to support the urinary tract. The food also contains spinach, turmeric, citrus, syzygium, rosemary, lemon balm and Yucca schidigera extract, which reduces stool odour.

If your cat has a food allergy
Lamb often appears in foods for sensitive digestion, but what makes a protein hypoallergenic isn't the label — it's whether your cat has eaten it before. Savory Sensitive contains two meats plus krill, so for a confirmed food allergy your vet is more likely to prescribe a therapeutic hydrolysed-protein diet such as Brit VD Hypoallergenic Cat. More options are in the hypoallergenic food collection.
Feeding and switching
Choose the amount from the table on the pack according to your cat's weight and activity, and adjust it to their body condition. Switch over gradually across 7–10 days — especially important for cats with sensitive digestion. More in how to switch your pet to a new food. Fresh water should always be available.

Verdict
Savory Adult Gourmand Sensitive Cat is a holistic lamb and turkey food for adult and senior cats with sensitive digestion, with a probiotic, prebiotics, pumpkin, krill, berries and yucca. It suits cats with a delicate gut and no serious illness. The downsides are that it isn't a therapeutic diet for food allergies and it contains rice.
