This link has great info on feeding your cats: http://catinfo.org/
I switched my male cat to canned food (PetGuard) about a year ago. He had UT problems, as well, and the vet had prescribed C/D for him. Since I made the switch, he's had zero problems. I've been amazed by the changes I've seen in him -- more energy, no dandruff, slightly less cranky (he's a feral cat with a mean disposition). The little one, Erin, has been on PetGuard ever since she started eating solid food.
Yes, it's more expensive (PetGuard is about $2.39 for a 14 oz. can) and you lose the convenience of dry food, but it's worth it to see happy, healthy cats.
I've thought about grinding my own, but they seem to be thriving on their current diet, so I think I'll stick with it for now.
eta: Didn't see Mimi's post. I love the idea of buying a chicken, eating the parts you want, and grinding the rest for the kitties. I may have to give the idea more serious consideration.
