Functional group that smells like cat food?

Question

hi!

i received a few unknowns in organic chem lab and i'm having trouble with one in particular...

it smells exactly like cat food...just like opening up a bag and putting your head in it lol!

i've narrowed it down to either an alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, ester, anhydride, nitrile, or amide after solubility testing

would anyone know if any of these groups has a distinctive smell like that of cat food?!

thanks

=)
