I'm looking for some cat food recommendations. One of my cats, Shade, may have a food sensitivity; for some time, she has been throwing up undigested cat food, and my vet suggested doing an elimination diet before doing any major tests since she has no other symptoms. In switching between different brands of cat food, my tentative conclusion is that she is sensitive to either corn or soy (or maybe both). The latest food I have given her, Natural Balance Calamari Salmon and Duck, so far seems to agree with her, and when I compare all the foods I've tried with her, the only ingredients that are uniquely absent seems to be corn and soy. If it is a sensitivity, not sure if is is a sensitivity to one or both of those.
However, in the process of doing the elimination diet, I have switched from cheap cat foods to the higher quality brands -- problem is, she's gained a lot of weight (10 lbs to 12 lbs in about 4 months!).
Are there any good dry cat foods for weight control or weight loss that you guys would recommend that don't have corn and soy? I'd love to stick with what she's currently eating since it agrees with her so well and the other cats seem to like it, but I really need her to shed some weight first.
