I did talk to one vet, but everybody else was receptionint or a tech. One gal did actully put me on hold to check the protien, and fat content. And the first vet said that SD was "alright"!

I think corn is even more detrimental to cats than dogs.

I have one cat that is sick and was losing weight, I had to resort to feeding him anything he would eat. Of course just like a kid he only wants the junk stuff. I try to mix some better stuff in and hope he doesn't notice.

The difference between his poops and the other cats is huge (literally) and much stinkier. I know with him being sick he would benefit even more than the others from high quality food, but it does no good if he refuses to eat it.

I do manage to get some cooked chicken into him everyday or so. I give him raw too and sometimes he'll try to eat a little but not often.

Yes, I agree. Neither cats nor dogs can digest corn/and it is often a common allergen. Avoid it at all costs. All it is is a cheap filler used for bulk.
