After reading all the posts on upgrading cat food, I decided to change my cats' diet. I had been giving them friskies and whiskas (didn't know any better) and stopped by petsmart today to pick up some nutro. They had nutro kitten formula and nutro gourmet choice kitten formula. I ended up going with the gourmet choice and my kittens seem to like it. Does anyone know the difference between nutro and nutro gourmet choice?

The best way to be truly happy and satisfied with what you're feeding your kitties is to learn how to properly read an ingredients lable. If you master this skill, you'll never again have to question choosing one food over another. It took me several months (and a LOT of ingredients reading) to figure out everything properly, but it's a skill I can't believe I did without before!
The best resources I have for learning (they're interesting reading and make things quite simple to understand) are the following websites:

Urinary Tract Health
MAX Cat Gourmet Classics helps maintain urinary tract health. Urinary tract problems can be a very serious and dangerous condition for a cat to endure. The most important factor for maintaining your cat's urinary tract health is a consistent diet promoting slightly acidic urine pH. MAX Cat Gourmet Classics uses high levels of quality proteins-many of which are natural urine acidifiers that reduce urine pH and contribute to overall urinary tract health. MAX Cat Gourmet Classics also provides low dietary magnesium, to help keep your cat's pH in the safest range possible.

I prefer the ingredients list on the Nutro Natural Choice line as compared to the Max Cat Gourmet line.
I'm glad if you've found this forum helpful, I think we have a lot of threads with specific discussions on ingredients and various nutritional issues, and I give a lot of links to various articles.
