#1 Nature's Variety Instinct Chicken Formula Canned Cat Food - no carrageenan and in my opinion better than Innova Evo. Canned food should contain lots of moisture if used to transition a kitten from it's mothers milk.
For a kitten not getting enough hydration you can mix the above with Just born Milk replacer with equal quantity of water. My kiitens did not like the milk replacer alone.
Things to ad to your cats diet:
Plain Yogurt
Sardines - King Oscar with no salt added and in pure spring water
Chicken livers - boiled enough to kill germs
Hard boiled egg
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dry foods are nice so when you go on a short vacation the cat or cats can self feed.
Top dry foods in nutritional value and least harmful to a cats digestive tract in my opinion are:
Orijen - chicken flavor
Innova EVO - Chicken
Natures Variety Instinct - Chicken flavore or Rabbit Meal Formula
Applaws - chicken flavor
*** Only problem is cats may not eat dry food. I suggest starting by using a blender on the dry food and keeping the resulting powder in a container to keep it fresh adding it to a canned diet to transition the cat or kitten to that flavor.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cats do not drink excessive amounts of water so it is crucial that their meals contain the vast majority of water they will need. High moisture levels are important for proper organ function.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this is helpful and that others will contribute with more than just adding brand opinion. Even with the brands of dry food listed taste is a major issue. The cats must like the food and that's a huge issue.
The dry foods listed above are considered pretty darn healthy so please don't just bash them because most dry foods are not. Use science and reason and I am sure we will all learn something.
