We have 2 adult cats. One male one female...They are both 13 pounds. the poop constantly. they are currently on purina indoor cat chow. We are considering changing the formula. They shed terribly, cough up occasionally, but poop and pee like crazy. any suggestions on a better cat food. Or is nothing going to help...

I recently changed my 6 cats food also. They were eating sportsmix. I put them on California Natural Harring and Sweet Potato. They love the food. It is a little bit pricey but completly worth it. The shedding is going down a lot and they eat alot less.

Thanks. I will have to look for it. I have info on Nutro Natural Choice any thoughts?

Whatever you decide to try, I suggest buying the smallest bag to start. I wanted to try Felidae because of all the good things people were saying about it but I tried both flavors and my girls wouldn't touch it. I tried Science Diet Nature's Best, same result. (I've been donating the misses to local shelters.) I use Royal Canin because they have a breed specific formula for my Persians. I just thought maybe I could go more "natural" but I think they can read the bag and they just aren't into natural. But I did just switch my dog to the Nutro Natural Choice Senior Formula and he and I very happy with it. The guy at Agway told me some stuff I never would have known. Nutro has a 30 day money back guarantee if you don't like it for any reason. They also have this thing where you save the proofs of purchase and mail them in when you get ten and you get a free bag. Really, Cat Chow and the other things you can buy at the supermarket and Wal-Mart are sort of like feeding them McDonalds. It's basically junk food for kitties but does contain basic nutrition. There's nothing actually wrong with it, but if you can feed better stuff you should.

We feed my kitty Science Diet and he is smart, healthy, and sweet! (to make him healthier, we put half a can of Science Diet wet food in and a bit of Science Diet dry food)

Science Diet makes a light formula for overweight cats. It also comes in a Light Hairball formula which I just switched my cat to. She has been eating Science Diet natural. But the vet diagnosed her with a hairball problem, so we will see if she eats it.

Just my thoughts, I switched my cat to Felidae about a month or two ago. He did not want to eat it! But I persisted and it took almost two weeks before he would eat like he did before. He literally would eat just enough to sustain himself for the two weeks and then was fine. I don't know if it was just him (stubborn) or if all cats are like that.....

Yeah, some cats are picky on what they eat.

First make sure u switch gradually to the new diet (over 1 week.
Can use any good brand. Best are Royal canine, Eukanuba, Science diet.
