Food & Nutrition > Very confused about this food...someone please explain

Member Since 01/11/2010     Purred: Wed Aug 29, '12 12:11pm PST  I keep reading over and over again that meat is most important ingredient and should be the first listed. Right now I feed canned "Nutro MAX CAT". Which is one of the cheaper canned foods. I decided to compare to one of the top canned foods that have been mentioned and the % of the important ingredient is pretty much the same as my "cheap food". Am I missing something? Nutro MAX CAT Chicken & Ocean Fish Formula Gourmet Classics Canned Kitten Food 3 oz.; Chicken & Ocean Fish; Case of 24 Crude protein (min.) 11.00%, crude fat (min.) 6.00%, crude fiber (max.) 1.00%, moisture (max.) 78.00%, ash (max.) 3.00%, taurine (min.) 0.05%. Merrick Before Grain 96% Chicken Grain-Free Canned Cat Food 3.2 oz.; Case of 24 Crude Protein (min.) 9.0%, Crude Fat (min.) 6.0%, Crude Fiber (max.) 1.4%, Moisture (max.) 78.0%. Nature's Variety Instinct Grain-Free Rabbit Canned Cat Food, Case of 24 3 oz. Crude Protein (min): 10.0%, Crude Fat (min): 7.5%, Crude Fiber (max): 3.0%, Moisture (max): 75.0%, Someone please explain why what I'm feeding is not good if the percent is the same as the more important food I want the best for my little new kitten but I am on a tight budget so I want to feed best possible food while not going homeless. my posts [notify]

Cat Health > 3 Month old Kitten- soft stool

Member Since 01/11/2010     Purred: Wed Aug 29, '12 7:31am PST  Hi Everyone, My kitten has been tested and treated for worms and other things that may cause soft stool and his bill of health is clean. But he continues to have very large soft stools (light in color) and very smelly. I feed him Canned Nutro Max Cat (kitten formula) about 2 cans a day and put some EVO dry kibble on top of his canned food. He is also has a very big appetite, not sure if that's normal for a kitten to always be begging for food? Any advice on his soft smelly stool? Im assuming it must be the food, but I thought I feed good food! Help. my posts [notify]

Kitten Corner > HELP! So confused!

Member Since 01/11/2010     Purred: Wed Aug 8, '12 10:36am PST  I'm so confused with the feeding guidelines for kittens. I have a 3.5 month old male kitten. I do know that canned food is much better for them then dry food. So kitten can food comes in 3oz cans. Directions on the cans say to feed 2/3 can daily per lb. He is 4 lbs. So that means he should eat about 3 cans a day?!! That seems like awful alot and expensive! To save some money, I've been feeding him one 3oz can a day mixed with a little of dry food then I pour in some water to his bowl to make it soupy. Is this ok? my posts [notify]

Raw Food Diet > Tooth Cleaners

Member Since 01/11/2010     Purred: Wed Aug 8, '12 8:16am PST  Hi Everyone, I just got a 3 month old orphan kitten (still need to make a profile for him). I'm planning on doing mostly kitten canned food with occasional raw treats- but what kind of food can I give to him OCCASIONALLY to keep his chompers clean? I've been doing some research and read that chicken gizzards are good, but haven't had luck on what else he can have as an occasional natural toothbrush. Thanks in Advance! my posts [notify]
