For high-quality Cat food there is: Wellness, Innova/EVO, Blue Buffalo, Felidae, Orijen, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), Applaws (70+% meat and comes in both tinned and dry), HiLife (60% meat), to name a few. If you can, try and choose a brand that has over a 50% meat content.

Cats are strict carnivores, and they get all their nutrient from meat-based Proteins and Fats. They use these two nutrients as their primary source of energy.

The best cat foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, or corn. Corns and grains pack the food with carbohydrates, which is essentially cheap filler. Cats are not designed to digest such a high number of carbohydrate this could lead to the cat overeating and becoming overweight, diabetic, contracting kidney problems amongst other things. Unfortunately most dry foods and low-quality wet foods have a lot of grain in them.

Moisture is also a very important factor as cats are designed to get their moisture from their food (a trait that has been passed down from their wild ancestors), and therefore have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own. This makes wet food incredibly important in this aspect as just eating the food will keep the cat thoroughly hydrated.
