The person below linked a great database for cat food. But generally, you want the first three ingredients to be natural, real meat. The first should be whatever meat, the second should be an additional meat, the third can be the meat broth. Cats are natural carnivores, so they need a high protein diet for weight management, a healthy coat (prevents hairballs), healthy nails and prevent vet bills down the road.

I personally use GO! brand for my cat
In Montreal, Open Farm is often discounted at Mondou and independent shops. My cats loved it and once they're past the kitten stage and into adulthood, I'll feed them that. It's only a difference of $10-15 vs. Orijen but I don't want them to be picky of foods.willowfly09 wrote: ↑Excellent post, I also use Orijien 6 fish for my 2 cats. I haven't heard of Open Farm, Nutrience or GO, if would be nice to find some links for these at prices that are lower than Orijien which is about $60-70 for the 6kg bag. I also agree no wheat or meat by products, it must be real meat, otherwise the kitties suffer in different ways.

First four ingredients are deboned fish. The first three ingredients are what matter. Meals are okay as ingredients further down the list. There's a step above this, if you're willing to pay - it's the "sub-zero" which is meant to be purely what cats would eat in the wild with no grains.willowfly09 wrote: ↑Sadly, also the Nutrience is mixing in "meals"

This is exactly what I feed my kittens as their wet food. They enjoy it. Non-stop meowing as soon as they hear the can "pop!" Mine are around 8 lbs now - nearing a year old. They eat... a lot. Half cup of dry food each and half a can of wet food. One of them, a Siamese mix, is a non-stop eater. He will literally eat anything. Ever since we switched them to Nutrience + Orijen, their coats became slick and shiny.cloud9x wrote: ↑ We have two cats, one's 4 and the other is about 2. We've been feeding them Nutrience Prairie Red for as far back as I can remember.

No health issues, knock on wood. Both cats are well within acceptable physiques, very active and seem happy with the food in general. Sometimes they decide they don't like the freeze-dried bits though. Annoying. Older boy is about 13 lbs and eats 1/2 cup a day, younger girl is 9 lbs and eats the same. Neither begs for food or seems hungry for more.
