Thank you for the info. I would have never guessed that a cats mouth is slightly different than most animals as far as dry food "brushing" the teeth & gums. I never knew their teeth pushed the food away. I have already started to lightly brush her teeth & she does not seem to mind that much.

I do know about good quality foods what to look for & what not. I also knew they need adequite water but never knew they may need canned to get that. I just guessed they would drink enough water on their own. She does seem to drink enough.

The kibble does not look too big for her mouth. I think I will just eventually reduce her diet to only one meal a day for canned food & just leave out dry for her all the time.

I feed nutro natural choice kitten formula now. I also have ferts & was looking for a food that may be combined w/ the ferts as I know they will OCCASSIONALLY get into each others foods so I was maybe thinking about eventually switching to Eukanuba (although I dislike the testing that the Iams co. does) or maybe Felidea or Chicken Soup for the cat lovers soul.

Food debates can go on & on w/ any species of animal. LOL
You keep "finding" or "thinking" or "guessing" that one is better is than the other. It is a vicous circle LOL!
