I am a newbie here and this is the first time I've posted. My husband and I had been without a cat for 20 years until we adopted Captain from the shelter three weeks ago. He is one and a half years old, gorgeous, sleek, fully black cat who is very, very lovable and a real 'person' cat. My husband is retired and I work from home, so he has lots of company, and is always with us. He has - in three weeks - changed our lives and captured our hearts! Suddenly I have TOTALLY become a 'cat person.'
Now, to my question. When we got him, he came with a bag of Purina Pro Plan dry food for indoor cats (which he is). We had to buy him more food, and my husband came home with a bag of Purina One dry food from the grocery story thinking it was the same thing. It was about half the price of Purina Pro Plan. There seems to be SUCH an array of cat food and such a variation in prices. Our pet store even has some that's close to $50 for a small bag! (Purina One is around $12 and Purina Pro Plan is around $25 for that same size.)
So - I have lots of questions - which is the best dry cat food? Do we need to go with an expensive brand? Is Purina One okay? What do some of you suggest?
