I guess depending on the age of your cats, you might be worried about the 12% protein. However, have you ever looked at the protein on the cans of Friskies and Fancy Feasts!!! According, to Natura Pet, the EVO is suppose to be the CLOSEST food to what a cat would eat if it was doing its own hunting for food. I gave Hayley a teaspoon of it this morning at breakfast and she gobbled it up!!! So far, we are safe(dare I EVEN say that)with this food....Sandra
