The only thing I look for on a can of cat food is the ABSENCE of
"meat byproducts."
--


By-products, if listed as chicken by-products, for example, are not a bad thing
if they contain things like liver, kidney, heart, etc., but not so good if they
contain things like feathers or beaks. If a food lists by-products as "animal"
by-products, well then, that could be anything. Cats need offal in their diet
in the form of kidney, heart and other internal organs. But if the by-products
as listed on the can are questionable, as in "animal" by-products, then you're
right to avoid it.
