I have recently taken more awareness in what I am feeding my pets. I have found an abundance of nutritional information about dogs, but not for cats? What do you all suggest for a good cat food? What are some things I should be looking for? Thanks!!

Once you read through the information, that is when you go to the stores and start reading labels. Or talk to your vet about what he recommends.

Some foods that I think are excellent are Felidae, Innova, Wellness, Timberwolf Organics, Solid Gold, Natural Balance, Pinnacle .... I have not used all these foods but I have had good results with Solid Gold, Innova and Felidae.

We give ours some Bob Martins' Conditioning Tablets, she loves them and her coat is so soft. As for food, we give here Felix and GoCat biscuits, both of which she loves. Plus some boiled ham and turkey as a treat
