After looking at the ingedients on my kitteh’s Rx catfood, I made a note to ask my vet next time why on earth kitteh needs CORN in his diet. And this isn’t Meow Mix - it’s supposed to be healthy stuff for kitties prone to urinary tract infections.
He doesn’t, any more than a cougar or a lion.
But corn is cheaper than fish or beef, and kitty owners who notice their cat becoming plump as a thanksgiving turkey are more likely to buy diet cat food.
I’m not an expert on cats, but I really never got why cats would be fed grains either. They are true carnivores.
My Rocket is completely allergic to Rx diet. His fur falls out along his spine, he pukes, and he loses weight. It took a while because he has so many allergies, but we finally figured out that he does not tolerate grains, corn, soy, nor whatever vile chemical they put in the canned food and call “fish.”
He can eat human-food fish, but not cat-food “fish.”

Because the prescription food’s sales rep said so. What, are you questioning the doctor?? < /S>
