Indoor Kitten Nutro vs Kitten regular Nutro //please some help

[sanboy]

my kitten is about 6 months old ..

for the month or so I was giving her regular KITTEN FRISKIES ... before the vet said to me to make sure i get some " quality " food for her

for the last 2 1/2 months she has been on " indoor " Nutro .. and she never really seems very excited about it ..... i sprinkle some " friskies " on the " indoor " stuff and she eats it

I picked up the " regular " Kitten Nutro today - a small sample bag ... and put it on the floor and she started eating it right away ...

whats the difference between the one and the other ...

she is basically a indoor cat . she goes out on a leash / harnass in the year in the mornings .. but all the other time she is indoor


what am i sacrificing from the indoor to the regular .. ?

I like the regular due to the indoor containing some soy..

A lot of the key ingredients seems to be similar between the two formulations. It could be that your kitten just doesn't like the Indoor CC line. If you have any further palatibility issues down the road, you could always try the Max Cat Gourmet Classics (also made by Nutro). There are many delicious flavours for your kitten (or adult cat) to try. My cats have never had any issues with the Nutro Indoor Kitten or Adult food.

I feed both the Nutro Complete Care Kitten and the Nutro Max Cat Kitten dry -- I usually alternate (buy a bag of one, finish it and buy the other next time) depending on what coupon I happen to have.

The indoor formula is supposed to reduce shedding and I do notice the kibble are smaller. My cat will eat either.

anyone else

i really was hoping to stick with the indoor because of the noticable difference in the " smell " after potty time ..

I'd stick with what she'll actually eat. If you have to mix "junk food" in with it to get her to eat it then it's really not that great for her. Especially since you know what she will eat.
