Need Help finding a "Light" Food :(

Well I bought the Science Diet Lite Hairball today. I also saw the Nutro but it was $14 for 8# and the SD was $8 for 7#. I realize that cost doesn't matter to me b/c the Royal Canin was more expensive than that but still!!!!!
But I have a whole bag left of the RC that I mixed together so it will be awhile before she starts it, I just wanted to make sure that I had it so I had PLENTY of time to incorporate it into her food so we don't end up at the vet with gastritis again.
But she has become slightly picky lately. I hope she didn't decide she doesn't like the RC b/c it is a little pricey to set outside for the neighbor's cats!!!

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but hopefully those who need the info will find this!
I have an 11 year old Zeus, who I just adopted a year+ ago, he was sickly and had matted hair and coughed up hairballs-big ones, every single day. And this poor cat had been living with a vet as it had been dropped off there a year before I adopted him. I found a GREAT food, and alllll 10 of my lovelys LOVE IT and not only does it STOP hairballs, it reduces the odor in the litter box too! REALLY!
Its at WAL-MART of all places, and it's called MAXIUM NUTRITION Hairball Formula for adult cats. Now Zeus eats hearty, and put on the few pounds he was missing yet DID NOT put on any extra weight. The price is right and chicken is the first ingredient. They have other formulas for those with no hairball trouble!
Good Luck!!

Ok I have tried all three, and out of the Iams mixed with the Science Diet, she picked out the Iams. The Science Diet mixed with the Nutro she has picked out the Nutro. I haven't tried the Iams mixed with Nutro yet. I will probably stick with the Nutro.
She seems to like it thus far.

All of my cats love the Nutro too.
