Maybe it is best if I take my cat to the vet and discuss it with them. What is your opinion? How did you start with your cats?
The others know how to balance food for cats. The thing I DO know is that if your vet sells any kind of food inside their practice, you might as well not talk to them at all about diet. Every company that sells foods for vets to sell has already indoctrinated them as to how to exactly respond to raw and home-cooked feeders. Because, you know, GMO corn, GMO soybeans, and even chemical-feather-soup are great protein sources; and pine-tree cellulose is the perfect fiber replacement. According to them, you're actually risking your life because in their mind, you're probably not smart enough to know and use best kitchen practices for prevention of cross-contamination. All those kibble recalls for salmonella, etc. don't matter.
Vets will even tell people that it's rarely the corn, soy, wheat or other vegetable protein sources that are the cause of food allergies in pets. "It's almost always the proteins like beef or chicken." Well, unfortunately the grains that a lot of them are allergic to are protein sources.
Yes. I was told that when I had a dog with food allergies that had nothing to do with meat. He was allergic to protein alright--corn, soy, wheat, and rice proteins. Our vets and I just agree to disagree now on diet now because I'm not going through that again.
Best to just study, ask questions here, research, read and then wait for a few months for your vet to see the amazing changes in your cat's health after you go raw, or at the least go all canned with some of the carageenan-free foods listed here.
Pookie, Middle Child, and Lola know what they're doing when it comes to cats.
