Hi all! I haven't posted in a while because I'm staying busy with my last semester at graduate school and job searching for a teaching position...but, I'm glad for my occasional visits back to the Cat Talk board!
I'm writing today with a question about cat food: Our Binx won't eat Nutro (any flavor) anymore. Skeeter will eat pretty much anything. Binx, however, does have a tooth for Fancy Feast. I've always thought this to be a great food, but others have told me that it's "junk" compared to foods like Wellness, Innova, and Felidae. I've known many cats who lived very well on Fancy Feast, but would like YOUR input.
Do you think that Fancy Feast is a healthy enough food to keep my two boys healthy and happy. Grandted, it does not have all of the nutritional value of something like Wellness, but, if it's the only thing Binx will eat, should I just give it to him?
I should state also that the boys live on a 50% dry/50% wet diet. We feed Maxximum crunchy food (surprisingly good ingredients!) and, well, now you know the story about the wet food.
Please offer up your opinions. Any thoughts are appreciated.

I'm not sure if it's a complete food for cats or not.

Purina.com has lots of info as well. Purina is the maker of Fancy Feast.

You know, people tend to get hung up on feeding the "best" food.
Most canned food has a meat as the first ingredent and is higher in protien.
