Ahh, I see. Yes, this is exactly why I was planning to continue to offer him Science diet several times a day. I know just plain old chicken/turkey is not nutritionally complete. This was more about getting him some healthy calories to replace some of the cancer corn. I'll take a look at the links and if there's a supplement maybe I can shift the balance some. The other confession I should make, while I'm confessing my cat feeding sins is, we give Otis, Bandit, Smokey 1/2 can fancy feast each, each evening. Gussie has to get wet DM so we can shoot her safely with insulin, and the babies have been having the limited ingredient with the probiotic mixed in. Maybe if you all yell at me enough, I'll figure out how to replace the FF with something better -- but they are totally addicted to whatever kittykrack the nasty FF makers put in there. What a super cool group. I am amazed at the level of answers, how much everyone knows, etc... and how tolerant everyone seems to be. I'm delighted to have found this group. Lynette
