Any wet cat food is better than dry food - told to me by several vets. Next there is no such thing as a prescription diet -it's all hype. Sorry Hills. Dry foods : Think ultra-processing and its relation to poor outcomes in humans. Most house cats get very little exercise compare to free-range cats. If I take my cats out for a half hour - on leads - they sleep like logs for the rest of the day, they also tend not to fight nearly as much. Apparently just being out side, watching birds and stuff, really fires up their brains. Also, as noted by many others, water intake among house cats is relatively low compared to a wild diet. I keep four water bowls - all with wide mouths for my two cats. Each is changed daily. Cats generally do not like to drink out of clear bowls - well, mine don't. I use big cottage cheese containers and a large ceramic dog bowl for water. Five to six inch diameter seems to be the minimum tolerated. They also drink out of water buckets, aquaria *this is apparently the BEST, puddles, my water glass (which breaks the wide container rule), etc. The tricks with cat diets are getting them to eat, satisfying essential amino-acid requirements especially taurine, adequate water intake (clumping litter helps you visualize water intake) limiting carbohydrates (the main constituent of dry foods), high-quality animal fat (rancidity is a real problem), and controlling phophorus / phytates. My critters generally like Fromm wet / dry foods, and nearly any grocery store wet foods (Beyond is the current favorite) - although it makes me cringe to buy the junk. They all stink. The boutique brands at Petsmart and Petco - not so much. Keep an eye out for recalls too. While wet food might be higher in protein than kibble, the quality of the proteins is almost always better, and with bird and seafood fish diets it's more available. I stay away from farm terrestrial food sources on cats unless you can find a mouse diet. Cow, pig, lamb, not well balanced for cats. Freshwater fish, also not good food sources for cats. Soy is a kat-killer.
