I no longer have an inside cat, but I have the most spoiled barn cats in the county. 4 are mine and one is the Amish neighbor cat who decided this whole being fed in the barn thing is the bomb! They are addicted to Kit n Kaboodle. It is all they will eat - and I am ok with that. Giving them anything more expensive or "better for them" is futile as they have their own version of the raw diet (being barn cats and all!). When I still had my inside cat (RIP big guy) I got the better foods for him but he got very sick and died last year. :( After he got sick he refused to eat anything except....Kit n Kaboodle. And yes - he would have starved to death - cats can be that stubborn. But it isn't really even stubborn so much as physiology - if they can't smell it or sense it - they won't eat it (per my vet). I am assuming the cheaper - not as healthy - foods have additives that trigger the sensor in cats. So IMHO - if they are healthy and happy, then let them eat what they want.
