I’ve been noticing in recent weeks a distressing decline in the quality of cat foods we thought were of good quality. I am guessing this is an economic choice by the makers of pet foods. Rather than name the names of the foods that have changed, I’d recommend you check what’s in your own kitty’s diet. The acceptable foods’ ingredients should list the first two ingredients as some kind of meat. There should be no corn or by-products on this list. Looking only at the protein content can be very misleading. Please don’t trust that! The protein source should be from MEAT, which cats must eat in order to thrive. If the first two ingredients on the list are meat and the total protein content is over 35%, you can feel good about the food you’re feeding your cat.
