Is any of the cat food mentioned good for a diabetic cat. I find the RX cat food is too expensive. I'm at my wits end trying to find cat food for her.
Are you able to check your cat's blood glucose at home? I ask because you might be able to reduce or even eliminate insulin if you feed a low carb diet. But you MUST be able to check her blood glucose, since too much insulin can kill. Here's a website that has a canned food list: http://www.catinfo.org/docs/FoodChartPublic9-22-12.pdf.

Forgot to mention that the Weruva on Amazon had questionable reviews about cats not wanting to touch the food even though they ate Weruva purchased in store. My kitty had the same problem, for some reason he doesn't like the stuff from Amazon which was enough reason for me to try somewhere else!
I have to reply because I feel like I've stumbled on a secret that I need to share with everyone! When I got my Sterling at 6 months I wanted to make sure that he had the best food I could afford. I've done a TON of research on Cats in the Kitchen by Weruva and it seemed like my best option but was desperate to get the price down. The following is a summary of my quest of getting Cats in the Kitchen at the lowest price possible:
I consider one 3.2 oz can a "serving"
Pet Food Express 3.2 oz can (buy 4 get 1 free) - $1.19 per serving.
Pet Food Express 6 oz can - 0.97 per serving
Amazon case of 6 oz cans - 0.85 per serving
Petcarerx.com case of 6 oz cans - 0.85 per serving
Petcarerx.com with PetPlus Program ($50/year, 20% off "petplus items" worth it) - 0.75 per serving
So I was able to get Weruva Cats in the Kitchen for 0.75 per serving when it is sold in stores at 1.59 per serving (2.59 for 6 oz can). I find that to be a pretty good deal being that this brand is highly regarded, grain free, high in moisture content, high in protein, comes in a bunch of flavors (stay away from the fish if possible), looks like something I would eat, and my cat loves it! I feel really good about feeding this food to my cat and I feel even better about helping other kitties out there!
I would be super interested to know if anyone has found a way to get this brand even cheaper. I really hope this helps someone seeing as this is an older thread.
I have had cats who ate Friskies and were healthy.
I have tried every single premium grain free cat food out there, and have ended up giving it to my ferals because my 2 house cats won't touch it. They only like Iams grain free shreds. I have spent so much money on cat food that my husband is ready to divorce me. If I even considered rotating their food, they wouldn't eat it. I'm kind of upset now that someone mentioned that I should rotate their foods. If they will only eat one kind, is it that much of a problem? Also, their skin and coats are so soft and shiny now that they aren't eating Friskies.
