The only thing I don’t like is the rice and veggies which are unnecessary in cat food. But still, it’s far from being the worst food I’ve ever seen!

If I were starting over with a kitten, I would primarily feed it a properly balanced raw meat diet – ground meat, bones and organs. I’d perhaps supplement this with a canned food, and would of course offer a variety of meats – probably chicken, rabbit and perhaps venison. I might also consider using a commercial raw food such as Nature’s Variety.

As for which canned food – I’m currently feeding Nature’s Variety Instincts, which is a very very good food, but it is $1.79 per can. If I didn’t have a cat with digestive issues, I’d choose a less expensive but just as good food – any of the foods from the What to feed link.

I would not worry about feeding it “kitten” food – I would just make sure it gets its caloric requirements for the day.

This is a decent quality food. I would call it a middle to middle upper grade. The problems with it are the rice, potatoes, carrots and potato protein. cats are oibligate carnivores and have no use for this crap. That said, it is still a good food. If you can afford it, something like wellness and some merrick is grain free. Best of luck to you. Don;t listen to these people promoting dry food/kiten food ect. They obvioulsy haven’t even read the labels much less done the reasearch

My cats don’t like Felidae, Merrick’s, Newmann’s or any of the varieties that have a lot of vegetables in them like the Pet Promise. They eat the meat and leave the vegetables on their plates.

Cats evolved as obligate carnivores and I have never seen any information on cat nutrition that suggests there is any need for vegetable matter in their diet.

I’ve tried Evo canned, the cats all loved that one. Good ingredients in it too. There were a few others with no by-products, though Wellness was very expensive.
