This is linked to my post in the behavior section (introducing a new kitten to an older cat), I'm looking at the food situation and I'm hesitating...
Sasha's been on Royal Canin Indoor mature for the past couple of years and seems to like it. (he's 18)
Tiggy (the 6 month old kitten I'm adopting this coming week) was fed Hills' Science Diet kibble at the Humane Society, and then a mix of Performatrin wet kitten food and Science Diet kibble (for kitttens) by my inlaw...
Since the Royal Canin agrees with Sasha (and has Glucosamine and Taurine...at his age not a bad thing) I feel it would be best to keep him on that formula.
Since Tiggy has gotten pretty chubby on the kitten food - I'll see what the Vet says tomorrow- I figured I'd switch him over to adult food. Question is, which one?
I thought I'd slowly wean him off the canned food - I got some Performatrin Chicken and Fish Indoor Adult cat food cans; and perhaps feed him Performatrin Hairball control dry food - he's a medium-hair tabby.
The dilemma is that I can't find any kind of reviews of the Hairball formula on the internet, and everyone seems to endorse (or at the very least like a lot) Performatrin Ultra as a quality food...
Should I return the Hairball control food and exchange it for the Performatrin Ultra? Would the Performatrin Ultra provide Sasha with the same glucosamine and taurine a cat his age needs? While it would be more economical to feed them both the same food, I'm concerned about the effects on their respective healths!
