I have two cats, one a big fat hairy Maine Coon and the other a dainty little Bengal girl. I had been feeding my Coon the breed-specific Royal Canin food for years (as that's what the breeder had recommended, and I assumed she would know best) and then started on Arden Grange kitten food with my Bengal when I got her just a year and half ago. They both free-fed on dry food with some fresh cooked chicken breast as a treat a couple of times a day.I should point out that my Coon is a grumpy boy, doesn't like much petting (and lets you know with teeth) and was always especially sensitive about being touched anywhere around his rear haunches, which I could never groom properly because he wouldn't let me near him. I used to have to wait for him to fall asleep and try to chop out the matted bits...How is this relevant? OK. My dainty little Bengal decided she didn't want Arden Grange - she wanted the big giant Maine Coon biscuits that barely fit in her mouth. I was worried about her choking on one so I decided it was time for a change. I read a lot online (for the first time) about cat nutrition, decided that what I had been feeding them was actually quite bad and I should feed bad, and decided to try Applaws as it was the highest meat content dry food I could find.It took them a while to get used to it, but holy jebus did I notice a difference. My Coon in particular went from having what I thought was normal slightly coarse fur to silky soft fur that I could actually groom properly. I did a big exercise getting his mats out and now he has a fantastic coat that he can mostly keep unmatted by himself, and is even friendlier now that the sore matty bits are gone. He wants more pets and attention and noticeably takes better care of his coat. He gets less angry at the other cat (I guess now that she's not jumping on the bits he didn't like getting touched) and has become much more mellow. My little Bengal always took great care of her coat but it developed an even better shine and softness.Now that I actually know something about cat nutrition and have seen the effects of proper nutrition for a while (OK really if you wanted to do it properly you'd feed them fresh raw meat all the time, but in terms of what is achievable vis a vis store-bought dry food), I can say with confidence that a high meat content, no grain food is a must, and Applaws is going to be the food of choice from hereon in.
