Thanks for the info. I am the type of person that works better with specifics....so the percentage answers help a lot. :-) I think I will start a mixture and a few treats and see how it goes. Maybe like 5 days a week, they can have their dog food and the other two they get canned cat food and then give a treat of some fresh fish or tuna or something through the week. Any opinions on that? To you cat experts out there....would something like that meet their needs well enough??

If you go with a meatless diet, be sure to supplement their food with taurine, fish oil and vitamin A (use cooked carrots).  kittencare.com   And if someone didn't answer you already, there are taurine supplements, but you would probably have to ask a vet how much to give a cat.  Taurine   Katie       " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
