I don't kow... But we get meow mix sometimes too.
What do YOU feed your cats?
Wanted to find out what everyone feeds here, see if there is one food that people feed the most. Please tell me dry/wet/raw etc, and what brand/formula. Thanks! 
Right now my 3 cats get Solid Gold Dry, for 5 months, and then Felidae Dry for 5 months and I keep rotating like that.
About ever 2-3 days they will get wet foods I have some left over Natural Balance and Felidae canned foods, but their new staple canned food will be Wysong Rabbit once the others are all gone.
They also get fed RAW food once in a while, whenever I have it.

Ariel: No just repeated times over the years I have looked at the ingredients for such foods, it's sort of engraved into my head.
That and the readily availble information you can find on the internet!
I'm actually working on making a Cat food chart, seperate ones for both wet/dry foods. I've made one for ferrets already

Kittygirl:
A very important thing to remember, is to feed what your cats will actually EAT. lol, not every cat will like the same foods, just the way it is, my cats turned there noises up at Natural Balance, they would only seem to peck at it at meal times, go figure.
It was actually hard for me to get them on to the more "natural" foods if you will, the transition that is.
What I sometimes had to do was give them the proper mix of old food and new food, and just offer that same amount until they finally got hungry enough and just ate both brands of kibble, after that they would gladly except their bowls of only the new stuff.
It can be tough to change there diet, because they do taste different (I know, because I try all of my cats dry foods). Grocery stores, and other highly known name brands use a lot of flavor additives, so that your cat will eat their food, a lot of the more natural foods like Natural Balance don't use things like that... so it's kinda like saying... well I'd prefer the taste of ice cream over wheat bread, but we KNOW the wheat bred is better for us.
I don't know if you've ever owned a keet, but sometimes you have to almost starve those poor things for days before you can get them to accept a new diet, and that's just the way it is.
I don't think there is anything wrong with only feeding Nutro, and I also think it's fine to feed both natural balance and nutro, who knows your other cat might come around some day and start eating the NB too!

Majicou: I am not familure with the Paws food line, care to post the ingredients for me?
Lori: Cats certainly do have strange habits, we all know this hee hee. My Asim and Isha when I got them as kittens, they were first fed SD, they stopped eating it after a month, so I switched them to Iam's (at the time I did not know what a horrible company this was, it was before ther merger with P&G, but during when they changed their food formula with out warning, and many animals got sick from it, including mine.)
At any rate, they only ate the Iam's for about a month before they stopped.
But they seem to be really darn happy with both Felidae and Solid Gold!

hee hee SD is still a big "rage", because it's a very commercialized food
It really goes along with... "If it's on TV, it must be true." :lol:
If the high quality food lines bothered to advertize up the ying yang, and had the current publicity that SD has, they would all put foods like SD out of business.
*waits for the day* :roll:
