JustMe your very welcome. I've cut back on things so I can afford to feed her as organic as we all know is not cheap. At Pet Supplies Plus they now carry an expanded variety of the Evangers (lower prices than the other pet store that also has Evangers) and that is where I found the Karma.

Karvskitties Evangers does make a canned cat food you might want to check out for your lil one.

Thanks JJ, but it took 2 months for the boys to get used to Felidae mixed with other Holistic Canned - I'm happy with my Canned choices so far.  I already looked up Evangers awhile back - and knew they only made wet food for kitties.

For JustMe - I was talking about Karma (I like Natura products, I trust them the best).

After careful research - discovered Indoor Kitties need the higher protein with more fiber.  But no Indoor Formulas (because those sacrifice the needed fat - which is niche marketing - since Kitties don't assimilate fats, carbs like humans do).  So I don't go totally grain free (and the grain free diets are now stating made for the more active, indoor/outdoor kitty).

Right now- I vary the food somewhat (not the canned as much - since they get Innova Regular mixed with Felidae - this provides 2 different blends of food - and helps them tolerate the higher protein/fat mix in Innova).  The dry food will be switched when the bag is done.

Currently on Holistic Eagle for dry (anchovies formula) - since they are EU certified.  (Orijen is also - they are like companies).  Even Natura is not EU certified.  I like the Innova Regular dry too - but there is a reason I won't use it now.

No diet is perfect on its own, this I've learned.  So - variety is key here.  Felidae provides different goodies and texture than Innova (as the canned).  So while feeding these canned foods - I don't want to use the bagged.  And vice versa.

karvskitties in your post below you were referring to Natura as far as canned cat food? If so, fine I thought you were referring to Evangers thats why I answered that they do make canned cat food. Take care.

Yep, they sure do!
I opened a case of Evanger's canned cat food last week. For some reason, the cat was having a hard time eating out of the can....her whiskers in the way perhaps. Smiley

karvskitties you asked:

Take a look for yourself.


Too bad they don't make kitty food.? Sad

Looks like YOU TURNED THE THREAD TO CAT FOOD. Do you post so much you can't remember what you said?

Just curious, since you don't have any dogs, what the heck were you doing on this dogfood thread taking it off into catfood topics.
