There are many types of cat foods. First of all, the worst food you can feed your cat is supermarket brand cat food. Most supermarket brands -- such as Purina, Friskies, Whiskas, Fancy Feast, Tender Vittles, etc., etc. -- are made with extremely low-quality "meat." These brands are made with all the leftover animal parts, including ground-up chicken beaks and feet, cow eyeballs, intestines, and something called "Animal Digest." Animal digest and meal is essentially a mishmash of leftover parts; it can include rats, roadkill animals, and animals that were euthanized at animal shelters -- including dogs and cats. That's right, cats.

Luckily, there are better foods available, made with high-quality meat that is fit for human consumption. They can be a little more expensive than supermarket brands - up to $2 a can - but they will keep your cat healthy, and will add years to his life. It is well worth the money to keep your beloved pet healthy and happy. And in fact, you will most likely save money in the long run: since better cat food means a healthier cat, you will save hundreds, even thousands of dollars on veterinary bills.

Some high-quality brand names include: Innova/Evo, Weruva, Max Cat, PetGuard, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Solid Gold, Merrick, Wellness, Eagle Pack, Newman's Own, WYSONG, Precise, etc.

Also, although it is not strictly necessary, it is a good idea to feed your cat both wet and dry food. Wet food usually has a higher quantity of meat-based protein, fat and moisture than dry food, so a cat's diet that consists of at least some daily wet food is ideal. Dry food may help scrape plaque off of the cat's teeth, but this is not guaranteed to work on all cats. Sadly, many dry foods are often packed with carbohydrates - "filler" in the way of corns and grains, none of which cats can digest. Grains such as corn have also been known to cause food Allergies in cats.

However, some high quality dry food brands such as Orijen, Innova and Applaws are free of grains and cereals. My personal favorite dry food brand is Innova/Evo: most cats love it, and it makes their coat super-shiny and soft.

Also, although it is not strictly necessary, it's a good idea to give your cat some variety with his diet. Having variety in your diet is good for humans, and for cats too. Also, sometimes cats get bored eating the same thing every day. Whenever I go to Pet Stop to buy cat food, I always buy a few different flavors of each different brand, so as to give them as much variety as possible. My cats get a different wet food every night, and during the day they get Innova/Evo dry food.

They are both cats and will be relatively the same, but cats have different personalities and will not be exactly alike.
