I know many do not like the ingredients in the prescription diets. But there is so much we still do not know about a cats nutritional needs. I have read so many instances where the prescription diets do an amazing job of helping cats with urinary issues. If my cat had this problem i think i would feed the prescription food that the vet recommends.
Would other wet foods work, maybe. But i would keep my cat on the prescription food, unless my vet was willing to work with switching the cat to something else. At least for a while, some vets will say that for some cats it ok to keep them on the prescription food for a while, get everything straightened out, then switch them to a non prescription wet food that you like better? Maybe ask your vet about this? I would be afraid of causing the cat to block again, so i would go with the vets advice, just my personal opinion on it.
