My cats absolutely love Felidae. I fed Iams before all of the problems and quickly found something better when one of my cats got sick. I like this as it is supposed to be for all stages and I have a Sr as well as a 2 year old. However, the 2 year old is very overweight so after researching and realizing the high fat content in this food, I am now getting the platinum formula and mixing it with Wellness indoor formula.Both cats will eat all of the Felidae out of the bowl and only eat the Wellness when they realize I will not give them more. So far, my boy is not losing weight but he’s not gaining any more either. I’m considering making the permanent switch and removing the Felidae but they both seem to enjoy it too much.
