Foods that are free of grains, corns, and wheat gluten are highly recommended as these are cheap "filler" that bulk up foods - but have no nutritional value for your kitten.

What is a cobb salad?

Salad may seem like a big bowl of greens to you, but vegetable salad doesn't have to be bland. Add a few flavorful ingredients and you have a main meal with broad appeal. Cobb salad is an excellent example. First developed in 1937 at the Brown Derby hotel in Los Angeles, California, this distinctive salad has everything you could hope for in a meal. It contains bacon, grilled chicken, egg, avocado, tomato, cheese and lettuce. Separately, these ingredients are pretty tasty; when they're combined, they become a feast for the taste buds.

Cobb salad is relatively easy to prepare. Although it's traditionally arranged so each ingredient is displayed in a separate little pile, some modern variations included a layered Cobb salad in an attractive glass bowl and a tossed version for a maximum number of ingredients per bite.

There's some debate about the perfect dressing for Cobb salad, but Blue Cheese or Roquefort (a premier blue cheese) are among the favorites. Since this strong dressing isn't to everyone's taste, use what your or your family likes best.
