I'm going to try the Authority. I really don't care to spend $20 just to ask a question of my vet. (I wanted to ask a ? when I took them in for shots, they wanted me to pay an exam fee to see the vet, on top of the shot fees... ummm, no... not for a simple question) Maybe someday I can afford a decent vet instead of a walk-in clinic...
Nutro Max and Authority are both great cat foods. I did a comparison at PetsMart.com and found out this:

I also found out that for one 10lb cat, a 18lb bag of Authority would last you 18 weeks and a 20lb bag of Nutro Max would last you 19 weeks. In reality they are both the exact same thing. Authority is much cheaper and it tastes so good <-- I ate a piece!
I just switched my cats to Authority Lamb and Rice and the litter box has never been this unused. My 4 month old kitten hasn't used it in 3 hours and he ate his Authority wet and dry. Very good food!!
