Just to chime in on Purina Cat Chow. For about 11-12 years that was all that Ripley ever ate. My vet said it was fine back then and he did well on it but he was also a puker and did that all the time. The past 2 years I have been changing the food trying to find something that works for everyone since I now have 5 cats and not just Ripley. His puking has gotten better but I can't really say it was getting him off Cat Chow, I think a lot of it is he doesn't gorge himself anymore.

Anyway, my point is Ripley is now 14 so Cat Chow couldn't be all that bad. On the other hand though, now that I have discovered Nutro Complete Care I think it's better, less poop and smell for sure. So far it's worth the money. Now if I could just see some weight loss from Scout or Rumor.
