A good food but I am not trying it

Hey I was actually expecting you to post a reply first.

Thanks

It is interesting because it has a natural form of vitamin K, metal ion proteinates, Calcium Pantothenate, and probiotics.

I saw that at Petco too and it's the fruit that turned me off to it. It's extremely rare for cats to eat bananas. One of my neighbors has a cat who occasionally licks a small pinky finger tip sample of whatever human food from her finger and she swears her cat will eat anything except bananas. Dried fruit you can see in the kibble, bananas, papayas, I think that's a lot of sugar for a cat that is naturally insulin resistant by nature and is designed to eat a lot more meat than fruit. The same company also makes organix which has organic soy in it. Soy, even organic soy has no place in cat food.

The pet food industry is very competitive isn't it. It's enough to confuse any pet owner. Shengmei, I don't know if you're considering this food or just gathering opinions but I think you should stick with Foster and Smith or Nutro or whatever else your cats have been eating.
