There are a few good ones, depending on what you can afford, what your cat likes, and what's available in your area. Grain-free is preferable, fish based foods should be limited to only a couple times a week, and I look for varieties without a ton of different protein sources. Wellness, By Nature Organics, Nature's Variety Instinct, Innova Evo 95% meat, some of the Precise flavours, Wysong, etc. Here is a good link for what to look for in a commercial food: http://www.catinfo.org/commercialcannedfoods.htm

I've heard Innova Evo is good.
I feed my cats raw food and some dry cat food occasionally... canned at food really isn't a regular in my house. I think my sister buys FRISKIES? |

Sugarcatmom has given you some great choices, Merrick's & Eagle Pack Holistic Select are also good choices
yettiyodamarlo Raw is great, I feed my grrl raw as well. I'd stay far away from Friskies Maybe you can pass this info on to your sister see if she'll change to a better food

I don't know much about the vitamins though... Cats eat meat... not corn dyed funny colors with cancer causing chemicals used to preserve it. I live with my mom still and she used to buy the food for all our cats.. and we were going threw upwards of probably 5 to 10 pounds of food per week when I had only 5 or 6 cats at the time. We'd constantly be buying food. We had to clean the litter box so many times a day and it always stunk. Back last November-ish I slowly started to switch them over to better stuff. Now with feeding 6 inside cats full time, 5 foster kittens and my 2 cats outside stop by for food... we go threw about 4-5 lbs of dry food a week, and about 4lbs of wet food a week to feed them all. I'm switching my stray and feral cats over to better quality food as well because I can't have them eating all those preservatives. I'm going to be the one taking them to the vets if they ever get sick and that would cost me a fortune.

Heh no problem... been practicing this kinda stuff on Yahoo Answers. Your one of the ones who basically taught me about this stuff anyways
My kittens have always cared for Wellness Kitten Health which has similar ingredients to what you have posted.. hard to find though unless I go to Pet Valu.

What Epa eats.
My cat Epa is 19 years old. Until January 2004, I fed her whatever dry food was on special like Friskies or Purina One. Then she almost died of fatty liver disease and I started looking for some better food and found Solid Gold. Epa likes Indigo Moon. Occasionally, she gets raw and cooked meat. She is old and arthritic, but is doing much better on this diet. Not all pet foods are alike. I would rather pay more for her food, than on vet bills.
