Their needs are a little bit different, but not by much. They need lots of meat (strict carnivores) and lots of moisture. So, a raw diet could be great for them, too, although it's sometimes hard to convert a cat to raw. They don't need grains at all in their food and a wet diet is best. If you can't do a total wet diet, then def. add some to their dry. Good luck to you and I hope I didn't overstep my bounds on this.
Yup! I have a kitty! Currently he's with my parents. We feed him blue but I disagree with the portions my parents keep insisting on feeding him(They just keep refilling the bowl with no set dinner time and over-feed snacks.) It's true, I am learning more about nutrition that can help improve my cat's health and when return home for a while ( I'm currently in the States and my parents in Canada) I hope to help educate them on proper care. I wonder how they would react to raw food :P
Originally I wanted to take him to the States with me but my parents want to keep him an they feel I'd stress him out with the big move.

Thanks for your thoughts :)
