I would go for the Orijen if you can afford it. Many high quality brands carry exclusively fish flavors and for good reason. It is the cheapest high protein low fat combo you can find. All commercial cat food fish is tested for mercury as well. While I do not feed my cat just fish, I absolutely...

My dude only eats chicken, turkey, and tuna. When offered venison, duck or rabbit, he just stares at it like it isn't even food. He recently went off beef too although it really depends on the brand for most of these things. He won't eat anything from EVO, Wellness, Organix, or Natural Balance...

My cat is really picky but he loves two foods that are only found at Whole Foods. The Whole Paws line, and Deck Hand tuna cat food. Home runs!

My cat found a taste for wet food when he was really hungry. Not free-feeding is really important but I assume you don't do that anyway.In my opinion, if the cat likes fish, let him eat fish. A lot of brands have chicken with fish. My cat is a gravy licker as well and only eats pate style...

I spent months weaning my cat of of Deli Cat which has got to be the cheapest worst food ever. I don't know if meat is even in that stuff, it it is at the most like the 5th ingredient. But he LOVES it. Went on a 2-3 day hunger strike when I took it away. Tried about 5 other high quality dry...

I am not convinced that carrageenan is bad which seems to be the minority opinion around here. For starters, it is in tons of human foods because it has undergone rigorous testing-none of which has been conclusive for causing cancer or IBD. The FDA and European version of the FDA have approved...

My cat was a barfer when he first came to me. He was eating dry food. Switched him to wet and now he only barfs when I feed dry because I'm in a hurry.

I have personally only seen this in a cat with tape worms. If you are positive she has no worms, then maybe she just had a little bit still stuck to her? 

I recently acquired an old cat who only ate dry so I have tried a TON of different foods from all types of wellness, NV instinct, natural balance, pro plan, Fancy Feast, EVO, etc. Won't eat any of them. So heres the ones he will eat: Whole Paws (whole foods brand) chicken, turkey, giblet dinner...

I finally found something my cat will eat (chicken, turkey, giblet canned Whole Paws brand from Whole Foods). Been eating it consistently for a couple weeks. He seems to barf a lot when fed beef. He doesn't like EVO venison. So what else is there? I did cave and buy some Pole and Line Deck Hand...

Heyo. I don't want to start controversy but from what I have researched, carrageenan may not be that big of a deal. It is FDA approved, NOP (National Organic Program) approved, and European Food Safety Authority approved. This stuff has been tested ALOT. It is used in many human products...
