Great health

I have had my cat, with mega-colon, on this food from the beginning of production. It has kept him going for 6 years. It is so great with their digestion I have put all 13 cats on it. It really helps with my older cats that were having problems pooping. All of my cats like the taste of it.

the Cat likes it!

my Cat is fairly picky when it comes to dry cat food, so I'm pleased that she will eat the R.C. American Shorthair Adult Dry Cat Food.
