As for my cats...

Canned cat/dog food is basically all the moldy and/or diseased cuts of meat that they cut of the inspection line when processing meat for human consumption. Then they add chemicals designed to kill or neutralize the bacteria. They mix that with some other shit, then can it and sell it to you for 49 Cents.

In studies done on animals fed an only/mostly canned food diet, they showed an alarming increase in cancer and diseases of the endocrine system. These are the parts in your body responsible for filtering out toxins, like your gallbladder, lymphnodes, spleen, bile ducts, etc.

Dry food is better as a whole if it's got to be something. They add grains and the meat is a little better quality. They also add extra vitamines and minerals essential for your pet. Taurine is one of the most important for cats. It is found in meat.

A vegetarian lady was feeding her cats rice and vegetables and they went blind (lack of taurine). It wouldn't be a problem if she supplemented their diet with taurine and other vitamins.

Thats what I do. My gets get a nutritional supplement and eat only organic kosher meats that I order special. As a treat, I sometimes give them a jar of babyfood.

I tried making my own cat food but it was a hassel unless I made big batches and then it didn't store for too long.

I also give them a dry food that I get at the health store that is made from organic meats, grains, and vegetables. They need the crunchy stuff to grind the plaque off their teeth and keep their gums healthy.
