Just to share my cats grew up on so-called high end kibbles such as RC and later on Blackwood. One of my babes who is only 7.5 years old was diagnosed with CRF recently-Chronic Renal Failure(kidney problems/failure).
I was angry and dumb founded, here I am feeding expensive and supposedly premium stuff to my cat and he has failing kidneys at such a young age. Since then I have found a holistic vet to manage his diet and started feeding all my cats with wet food/home cooked food following the recipe from my vet.
If you like to know more, I suggest you read books by Dr Pitcairn and/or Anita Frasier to get more knowledge on what to feed your cat and how to care for them in a holistic manner. In these books they put recipes for how to prepare home cooked food/raw diet for your beloved pets. If you don't have time perhaps consider to buy canned food like natural balance/addiction or dry food from the same brands as they have high quality protein and no grain/carbs. I wish my cats would eat raw but they would not as they are all kibble heads as that was the only food they knew since small so my fault!
All the best to you and your furrkids!

Hi, Mimi --
This is just a little off topic, but would you mind sharing the name of your holistic vet?
Also, thank you for the two book references.
Best of luck to you and your furkids...
