You guys are awesome! ^_^ I started to give thanks to the helpful posts....but I would have to run through and give them to all of the posts! I love hearing the stories about the different cat foods, and not just the reviews off of the sites. I'm going today to look at some of the prices on the foods that I'm looking at. I think right now I'm going to start by looking at Evo, Wellnes and Nutro. Right now price isn't a big thing for me, but I don't want to get them started on some super expensive food that I can't keep feeding later on if I hit some harder times.

Oh, and last night I looked at the ingredients on the 9 Lives stuff that I have...that's just gross! In the first handful (6-10 or so) of ingredients there isn't any actual meat, just 'chicken fat' and 'natural chicken flavor'! Poor kitten isn't getting any meat!

I know that some of the Wal-Mart brands can be fed and the cat can be just fine. We have had cats (mostly outdoor cats) for years. They ate whatever my mom bought, and always did just fine. But I figure, this is my first furry pet of my own (I don't have any problem picking what brand rats for my BP ) and I want to start early and keep him healthy. And some of that stuff just doesn't sound healthy.... =/

I think I am picking up my new kitten today! ^_^ Today or tomorrow. A quick question about the shots...the kitten I have now has had his first round of shots, and has an appointment to get his others. This new kitten doesn't have any of his shots yet....Neither of them have been outside since they were born (both moms were just wild cats) so I was going to go ahead and pick the new guy up, but has anyone had any problems bringing a cat that hasn't had it's shots into the house?
