Just because every cat food has plants doesn't mean it's good for them. Dry cat food is actually pretty horrible for cats. I've had cats on every kind of diet. I now feed my cat raw and you can see the difference in his poop. Cats are built to digest animal proteins. When they eat dry food with lots of fillers and plants, they'll have frequent (2+/day), wet/loose bowels movements. On a raw diet, they have very little waste and it is completely solid. It's better for their teeth, gives them more energy, and provides them with liquid. Lots of cats on dry diets get kidney infections because cats are not meant to rely on a water source. I did tons of research on food for my cat and this is what I believe is the best decision for him.
