You'll get very mixed reviews here about what is and isn't good enough for your kitty. Here is the simple answer: feed the best quality food you can afford. Iams is a great middle of the road food. If Iams is in your price range I'd also check out PurinaOne and Eukanuba as I think all three are priced about the same. Horatio is going to be healthy even if you can't shell out $20 a bag for his food!

i wouldn't feed either if it's the dry you are talking about. both have far too many carbs. if it's canned your talking about. MOST brands will do. just follow a couple basic requirments. it should not have any dye or color, it shouldn't have gravy, and it should have at least 4 meat protein sources. and supplementing with raw meat is great. I use chicken heart as it's a dollar for a package of them.

I would recommend Innova Evo cat & kitten food (canned). Here is a website that you can read about feline nutrition, that can explain the types of food that will benefit your kitten for life: http://catinfo.org/ A great book for you to read is Your Cat: Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life by Elizabeth Hodgkins D.V.M. You can probably find it at your library.

Yes Science diet is a step up but not too far up lol. I buy Ayla the small bag of science diet healthy development for kittens and it's only 9 dollars. I have heard that Iams does hurt animals to test their products or something like that but I'm not sure that's true, sounds a little far fetched. Ayla eats wet and dry and it gets a bit pricy but we find a way. Good luck with feeding Horatio he is adorable!
