Hi
My ten month old kitten has been eating junk food and until i found this site i didnt realise it.
I, like many cat owners thought that i had been giving him the best i.e the most expensive at the supermarket. My poor kitten has been eating stuff that only contains 4% "meat". I would therefore like to change his diet. On the plus side he does eat one fresh meal a day. This is what he has at the moment-
AM - half a pouch of junk
LUNCH - half a pouch
DINNER - around 80grms of steamed white fish (human grade) Its called colin here in France, pollock in the UK.
PM - Full pouch of junk which he eats overnight.
He will have a tiny amount of Pro Plan kibble as a snack sometimes but not every day.
I have seen a brand called Applaws which is 75% meat or fish that i would like to gradually introduce into his diet. However i have read that it is not a "complete" food so would he be lacking in vitamins? I am confused - please help! - Just wanted to add that he has been neutered, is very active and goes out for a least an hours walk with me( in his harness) in the woods everyday.

to TCS! I'm familiar with the Applaws, and the producer recommends feeding it in addition to a good quality dry to cover all nutritional needs. You could also feed it along with another canned/wet food that's considered "complete".
