What type of cat food is best for my cats

I have seven kitties all fixed. Currently I feed them Friskies Deli formula. Its the only thing they want to eat. I have tried Iams, Science Diet , and Eukenuba but they would rather starve then eat it.

Any suggestions on how I can get them off this filler filled food and on to something healthier that they will eat.

Hi there.cats can be changed to a new brand of food, however it must be done slowly and carefully, which I'll include the steps to help you do this below. This method is best as cats are prone to hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease-- http://maxshouse.com/feline_hepatic_lipi. if they are starved.

Many cat foods contain high levels of carbohydrates such as corn, corn meal and soy. A cat can never feel satisfied because of the carbs so they keep eating more. Cats are obligate carnivores so a diet higher in animal proteins is more beneficial to keep them lean and healthy. Corn, corn meal and soy have no nutritional value as they are used as fillers to help bind the kibble together so they don't crumble in the packaging and corn is also used to fatten slaughter quicker as well.

Each of the cats should eat a serving of 1/2 cup - 3/4 in total divided twice a day (e.g. morning and evening before bedtime--12 hours apart). If your kitty is eating more than this gradually cut back the amount by 1/16 one week at a time until you get to the ideal serving. Sometimes it's better to feed the cat multiple times throughout the day so they do not feel too depraved waiting the full 12 hours..perhaps like every 4 hours if your schedule permits.
