   Top 5 Dry Foods:

   1) Nature's Variety Instinct Chicken Formula @ 17% carbs
   2) EVO @ 18% carbs
   3) Wellness CORE @ 20% carbs
   4) Orijen @ 23% carbs
   5) Blue Wilderness @ 26% carbs

   Top 3 Wet Foods:

   1) Blue Wilderness @ 7% carbs
   2) EVO 95% @ 9% carbs
   3) Wellness CORE @ 11% carbs

   Cats have little need for carbs which is why the foods with the best ingrediants were then judged by how many carbs they have on a dry matter basis. The manufacturers should also be taken into consideration...Nutro the Recall King and Diamond the Recall Queen.

   You know how I feel about feeding dry food and why I think cats should never be fed it.

   *Some of the fancy feast wet food has less than 10% carbs but they weren't listed in the top brands b/c of their ingrediants.

   The best overall food is raw :)

   I have done my best with the top wet foods.... kitties wouldn't touch it. Tried mixing in small amounts to their regular wet food - nope. They walked away from it all. All went down the disposal and they fed on dry only. (At least that is #4 on your dry list.. haha) I caved and put them back on Fancy Feast... they're much happier. I shop with the list you provided a while back on the best of the Fancy Feast options. Limited as they won't eat beef either ! Little stinkers... ;)

   Thanks, as always, for your input FF50... you have done an admirable job with your research.

   Here is the wet food I feed--it has NO GRAIN:
   http://www.healthypetnet.com/HealthyPetNet/Catalog/ProductDetail.aspx?realname=10017719&cat=0&hdr=&Ath=False&ProductID=405001(Pet_Base)

   Here is the dry I was feeding: http://www.kumpikat.com/ingredients.html

   I had to go back to prescription CD dry for Sheba, or I would still be using it. Both foods are very high quality and the cats love the taste of both.

   I chose these after they wouldn't eat the raw. All are US human grade ingredients.

   Is Blue Wilderness the same as Blue Spa?

   Sheba's Mom - is Instinctive Choice only available by order? Or is there a store where one could buy a can or two just to try it out?

   Never thought of Intinctive Choice or KumpiKat. Here is its carbs (you want the least amount possible):

   IC wet food: 8% carbs
   KK dry food: 29% carbs

   I wish I could edit my first post...the KK wet food should be #2 so instead of the top three it should be the top four.

   I know it's considered a high-quality food and not a premium food, but I use and have had lots of success with Nutro wet and dry for my kittens. They love both and have been eating it for quite some time. I know there have been recalls in the past, but I only have good things to say about it.

    2P, it is only available online, unfortunately. KK is available in Denver area stores or online. If you want to try a couple cans let me know--I'll met you somewhere and give it to you. Email me: shebas_mom at msn dot com
