I was researching for my grandmothers cat "Pretty Boy" and came across your conversation. Pretty Boy has a megacolon and was "put out and dug out" two days in a row. Anyways he was put on the W/D fromula from the vets and I also dont agree with those foods. Ive been researching and I've found that some cats don't react well to high fiber especially since that canned food is 10.6% way to high!
Anyways Ive also found that eliminating grains in animals food just makes them look and aids with digestion and eliminating. I feed my canine lab 40 lbs Taste of the Wild dry free choice and Blue Buffalo wet 1 can total daily. She had digestive sensitivity so This has been the only cure. Im thinking that a grain free and low on fiber is going to be fine for my grndmals cat. Ive heard that fiber makes the stool bigger, but helps push it through digestive tract, but i feel that smaller stool pieces is better, especially because if you increase fiber you have to watch the water intake to make sure they are getting enough. I saw the post where you bought "katty" California naturals. I work at a boarding pet resort and we feed high end foods. The california naturals is very very rich and my bosses dobermans couldn't take it, they were gassy and had gas cramps. Dont get a rich food because it is only going to hurt your kitty. Also i saw you bought both "dry and wet" if the cat has a megacolon I would suggest canned food only, no dry. They NEED moisture to push it out. No dry is also what the vet told us but ive been researching and most people are saying no dry! Ive also heard that chicken broth helps too. and canned pumpkin
