I have a cat who had abdominal surgery a couple of months ago to remove BB pellets from her abdomen (yes, you read right:/). She is recovering but here and there has bad days which can be expected. At this point i'm not suspecting the food so much as the surgery and recovery time. BUT, what i am wondering about is the kind of cat food she is on and if it's really necessary. Everything i seem to read is either biased or goes off topic.Before the surgery she was eating iam's because i thought hey higher price, better quality? never really had any problems or complaints though. Since she is recouping the vet has her on science diet kibble for tummies. She likes the taste and eats it just fine but the price seems a bit ridiculous after reading some of the information i found on it. Yes, my vet does carry a lot of this food and is naturally going to push it, so i want to make sure i'm doing the best thing for my cat and pocket book So...i don't want her back on iam's but would like her on something more natural and don't want to give her garbage. Other than a raw diet, what kibble food is good? Some of you are going to prefer one over the other of course, but from experience or knowledge of cat food, what is your recommendation? This is also a brand i'd like her to continue on once she's allowed back on regular food. I just don't see the cost justification for science diet vs. another possibly better brand, for a lower price. Thoughts?
