Pet Talker, Kate Solisti, has done a lot of research when it comes to quality foods for your kitty.
Kate stresses that it is important to note that these foods are recommended from her friends and colleagues that have done a lot of research in this area – and if they are bought out by a larger cat food company, then the quality and effectiveness of the ingredients could most certainly change.
Solisti recommends that you buy cat food from a locally owned store – rather than from Petco or Petsmart – and definitely not the grocery store. Solisti says that if you go to the grocery store for your kitty’s food then the food is already highly processed. I would imagine that Whole Foods or another natural food store might be an exception in this situation.

Although Kate recommends that no cat should ever be eating dry food alone – she says that she included the list of dry foods, so that the kitty could transition to a grain free food. It is best to only feed kitties wet food.
