Is “indoor” formula dry cat food really all that much better for indoor-only kitties than regular dry cat food?
I realize we could start a whole discussion on dry cat food here–is any of it any good at all?–but I really don’t want to go there here.
The indoor variety of the brand I feed has less fat and protein than the “regular” variety, and my cats are seniors (one teenager, one going on nine).
But not every store in my neighborhood carries the indoor variety, and my kitties really prefer the other variety anyway.
So, what to do? Shop exclusively at the store that carries the indoor variety and buy it exclusively?
Or just not obsess about it and feed them what they like and sits well on their tummies? (The indoor agrees with them too, they just don’t like it as much, which actually might be a good thing since I don’t want fat cats.)
I supplement their dry food with people meat, fish, and chicken, which they love best of all but of course do not have 24-hour access to as they do to their dry food.
