A cat adopted me about 20 years ago, and that was my first experience with cats. She was a year-old stray when she came into my life, and I gave her free access to both wet and dry food (supermarket brands). She regulated her weight until her last year of life (always 11 lbs), and she lived to almost 20, so the food couldn't have been that bad.
Two months after I lost her, I adopted a 5-year-old male from a shelter. They told me that they fed both wet and dry, but he wanted nothing but canned (not a problem for me), but I wanted to give him a dry option for times that he might be hungry, etc.
I e-mailed 4 premium companies, and they all sent me samples to try. His favorite is Taste of the Wild, and I think I'm going to stay with that unless someone knows something bad about it. I really like the fact that it's grain free. If they develop a wet version, I would go with that as well. Right now he's on Fancy Feast. Any suggestions for a better wet food? I'm skeptical about premium brands because my former cat did so well on FF--and when there was that problem with pet food, FF was NOT one of the brands involved but many premium ones were.
But I want to do the best for my guy, so any suggestions are welcome.
