I didn’t know that canned food was better for cats than dry! I have my two adults on a prescription dry food (Royal Canin SO) at the advice of my vet (whom I absolutely love) because our female had some urinary problems a year or so back. I then discovered that male Burmese are especially prone to urinary tract problems. The vet/breeder I purchased my Burmese male from advised Royal Canin, but when I looked at their canned food ingredients the other day I saw that byproduct was the first ingredient. How do I know that the byproduct isn’t chicken toenail?

I’d be very interested to learn more about cat nutrition. I’m really glad I found this site and this forum. I just learned about it today when I went to a local TailSpin store. I’ll definitely follow the links in your post.

We now have three cats: Skeeter (she adopted us as a subatomic kitten at about 6 weeks old & is now 8 years old; Dougal, a Burmese I purchased from a vet/breeder who is now 5 years old, and just recently Pumpkin joined the family, another subatomic now 7-8 week old abandoned kitten). We also have two Boxers: Molly & Omar (brother & sister) who will be 8 yrs in January.
