I emailed them and they said that if you used a cook meat and used their liver powder (they have this if you can't find a liver source of your own) it will have less taurine, but still plenty. They said it will still have significantly more taurine than NRC recommendations for cats.

This is a great thing that we recently started on in replacement of our wet food since I don't really trust any of the companies right now (especially after finding out Natura, Wellness and Nature's Variety use Menu pet foods).... Worth a try! http://www.felinefuture.com/products/ (just an...

Long time since I posted, so I dunno if this has been brought up. Wellness now has a new grain-free formula called "CORE." Looks pretty good to me! http://www.oldmotherhubbard.com/well..._dry_core.html They also re-formulated all of their cat foods to be better for the UT and taste better...

I think Nutro Natural Choice Pouches/cans are some of the most affordable you can find...and good quality

1/2 Chicken Soup Adult Light dry & 1/2 Solid Gold Katz-N-Flocken dry fed free choice. He occasionally gets some meow mix pouches as a treat.

I've seen it at the grocery store....glad to see they are starting to carry better foods

I think EVO, Felidae and Solid Gold have "big" kibbles actually (although Tigger doesn't mind). The smallest kibbles I've ever seen (and are teenie-tiny) are Timberwolf Organics Serengetti and Eukanuba.

A "derivative" is something that is derived (or taken) from a main source....from what I understand it is the UK way of saying "by products."

Furminater = best thing I EVER bought!

What cat litter are you using? I don't think the food is the issue unless he is overeating...

I use Fresh Step. I know some hate it but it is AMAZING for odor control! I have tried Arm & hammer and Tidy Cat but neither compared to Fresh Step. I think I may try the new Fresh Step multi-cat next time.

Just a for-warning....Tigger gained ALOT of weight on EVO, which is why I had to put him on a Light food, lol.

sweatereyes---check out www.catinfo.org to learn how to determine the difference between quality/low quality foods

I have had the same issue you did. Tigger is 7 months old and I now have him on a 50/50 mixture of Chicken Soup adult light dry and Solid Gold Katz-N-flocken dry (which is an all life stages food) free choice. He has actually trimmed down a bit and certainly hasn't lost any energy

Yeah, I would rather buy the meow mix selects because they are "complete" even though I feed them as a treat, but the sheba one's seem really good for a "special treat." It looked like something I would eat! lol
