Indy: You and I are in the same boat. It wasn't until I started thinking more about where my own food comes from that I realized the need to give their diets the same consideration. My foray into pet diets actually started with our dog's food. Since switching him to an "ultra-premium" dry food (Blue Buffalo Fish and Sweet Potato), we've seen a marked improvement in his coat, weight, and mobility.

Flaser (the girl cat) is currently eating Innova canned food. I'm shocked by the difference that 2 days' worth have appeared to make. It's still anecdotal at this point, but I'm convinced enough to keep going. I also bought some Wellness grain-free to try.

Right now, Auric (the bratty little brother) is eating Hills Prescription Diet C/D for chronic UT issues. It's not ideal IMO by any stretch, but it keeps the incidents to a minimum. Once I finish experimenting with cat #1's diet, I'll move on to his.

Raw or homemade food for the cats is not out of the question, but I feel like I need to test this out in increments. Fortunately, neither cat has been a picky eater and switching diet isn't generally an issue. I'm sorry that I can't offer any suggestions there...
