very well, much less grains, which can give them diabetes and IBD), but

There's so much corn in cat food that when I opened a can of corn for myself
recently, one of my cats ran over and began gobbling it. Sheesh! Since I'm a
vegetarian, they don't get leftovers like hamburger and chicken. So they eat
my corn and tofu. Weird world.
Spay and Neuter your cats
Please be careful of the soy. That's how I killed that kitten.

I don't use Science Diet myself, but we use SD at the shelter. We tried
different higher quality more natural brands, but the cats were having all
sorts of problems, so we switched back to SD.

Some of my cats adore veggies. Cats can't taste sweet, did you know? No

Whenever our cats were put on Science Diet, they hated it, lost weight…because
they didn’t want to eat it. Wasted a lot food, a lot of money, and didn’t help
the cats. It’s disgusting!

Well, it's the exact opposite. The only one I ever use is A-D when I have
to syringe the food - and I add vitamins minerals to it.

Nutro is pretty awful stuff, too. The best canned food out there is
Merrick Before Grain, and even that has carageenan in it. You may also

terms of Phos:Ca, as the company isn't very forthcoming.

Of what did the big kitty die? I've heard of cats living beyond 30 years,
