Zoey is a beautiful green-eyed girl-cat who was turned over to the shelter for the simple crime of clawing at the carpet. She is so friendly and easy to handle that we have to wonder why Zoey never had her claws trimmed regularly. (Learn how to trim cat claws here). Zoey can best be described as a double-tabby with movie-star green eyes and a white bib. She's still only 2-1/2 years-old but she looks much younger. Her former owner describes Zoey as very friendly and playful. In fact, Zoey likes every kind of toy. Wouldn't you just love to take her home buy Zoey a few cat toys? She does fine with dogs, other cats, and children. She's been brought up on Science Diet dry food and weighs in at a petite 9 pounds. Despite being a little bit unsettled and apprehensive, Zoey lounged in her litter box purring loudly during her recent photo shoot.

I would strongly suggest doing some internet research on just what vile garbage is in so-called "premium" pet foods like Science Diet etc. if you want your lovely cat to stay healthy.
Many vets actually promote & sell that crap, for profit of course; but long term ingestion of the toxic cocktail of chemicals, indigestible grain fillers & preservatives will lead to disease & more vet bills (go figure). Check out AskSusanPeters on how dangerous that 'food' really is!

Thanks for the comment, I found the website, printed the big, long list of cat foods, and went to the local pet superstores. Petco had Pet Promise and PetSmart had Avoderm. That's all I found out of approx 75 brands on the list. I like the idea that they contain no byproducts, road-kill or euthanized pets. My cats like both brands just fine. Now, can we chill? I'd make my cats vegans if I could, but anything is better than cannibals.
