It's actually the adult Iams that Sherpa eats, that was why I made sure to get her nice rich canned kitten food.

Ok, thanks!

I didn't make it to the store last night, but I'm going to stop there on my way home from my orientation (at the shelter I'm going to volunteer at) this morning.

I WOULD TRY A FEW SAMPLES IF YOUR PET FOOD STORE HAS THEM, I DO THAT IF I CAN FOR THE FOUND CATS , AND THATS HOW I DISCOVERED ROYAL CANIN AND FELIDAE AND INNOVA.
MY CATS LOVE INNOVA CANNED, AND THERE ARE NO PRESERVATIVES!!
I WOULD BLEND THE FOODS AS ITS BETTER IF THEY EAT TOGETHER, AND DONT SEE THEMSELVES AS RIVALS FOR THE FOOD!!!

This is how my cats are so they all need to be eating the same food. Now they all eat Innova Evo dry and canned food and they all love it.

When my cats were still kittens, I would usually feed them kitten food until they were about 6 months of age and then I'd gradually switch over to adult cat food. The Innova Evo is for all ages though and I know that Felidae is also like that. Good luck.

I also love the innova evo, but warning, the first two- 4 weeks, you wont love cleaning the potty pans. It literally stunk up my whole house for days. Everytime one would use it, I would have to scoop IMMEDIATELY and take it outside. WHEW!

BUT the kitties love it, have perfect coats, and eat alot less. The smell fades

Mine still have very stinky poos especialy if they don't cover them up.

I always have Oust close by for this reason. They were also starting to have bad breath too. I asked my vet about this and she said that it was from eating a high protein diet. Now their breath isn't as bad since I've been using CET Oral Hygiene Rinse on them. They've also all lost some weight and eat less so they're all in great shape.

The California Natural did the same thing when I switched over. I still have some cats (Calloway, especially) who still have really stinky poops. I'm switching over to EVO, so I guess we'll just go through that all again, lol. Yay!
