I'm caught between two cat food problems.

1. Cat needs urinary-diet food; he's 11.
2. Cat gets the shits whenever he eats corn products.

I'm not trying to do grain-free, but the vet-grade cat foods I've seen have corn byproducts; they also don't offer a variety of flavors. Cat is a picky rear end in a top hat who won't eat the same food all the time.

I have forgotten; he's just had urinary problems in the past, and the vet recommended a veterinary diet for them.

Iirc the issues with grain free food aren't just with the absence of grain, but the suspicion that legume proteins aren't good for dogs. Dunno about cats.

You should be less concerned because this is incorrect. Cats are able to digest and access nutrients from cooked grains, backed up by the vet nutritionists at WSAVA and nutritionists writing for VIN

From the VIN page you linked:

quote:

Cats have unique metabolic adaptations that do not allow for transition to completely vegan or vegetarian diets.

And from WSAVA:

quote:

Cats are obligate carnivores. Cats cannot thrive on vegetarian diets and these types of diets
should not be fed to cats.
