Dry foods are probably killing our cats. I don't know of any formulas that do not contain grains, and cats are OBLIGATE CARNIVORES. They do not have the metabolic means of dealing with a heavy load of carbohydrates. Like I tell people all the time at the store..."when is the last time you had to chase cats out of your corn field?"

Exactly. The dry formulas are convenient, and they seem cheap, but the effects on our cats are dire. The dry foods have favors added to them to make the cats eat them, but it's a trick. I try to tell people to feed the canned stuff, be it ever so messy and inconvenient.
Dry cat food is a killer. The other good thing about canned food is the moisture--the likelihood of the plugging of the urethra in male cats is much reduced with wet canned food.
