Which dry cat foods have the highest content of meat? I looked at many
bags at PetsMart this week and the second ingredient is always corn or
some other grain. Cats are not grainavores. I did pick up a bag of
Purina. She gets a meaty canned food in the evening but I don't like
leaving canned food out all day. She's a new cat that wandered in and
very boney, starved, so I'd like to keep food in front of her as much as
possible until she gains some weight. What dry food do you cat owners
recommend?


Kelly,

Bless you for taking in this poor little cat. I keep Purina Pro 1 for my
skinny little cat, who just does not seem too interested in any food. She
gets canned every 12 hours, but rarely finishes it, so I keep dry out in
case it will tempt her. As far as protein content, I don't think dry foods
vary too much in this regard.

Kudos to you for recognizing that dry is not the way to go, for most
purposes. Hope your new kitty fattens up soon.

Thank you. If canned is better I can feed her canned only. She seems to like
the dry food also. I'm adding a 1/2 tsp of Essential Fatty Acids to her food
and she gets a little fat free milk (all we use here) daily.
