I used to think this was good food.  But then I learned that you get what you pay for.  Although Purina has been around for a long time, after reading "Your Cat" by Elizabeth Hodgekins, I can no longer agree that dry food is the best, and especially not the grocery store brands.  This food has corn meal as a main or second ingredient.  Cats are carnivors and if left to their own devices, would only eat 3-7% of their diet as carbs.  And that 3-7% would mostly be from the stomach of their prey.  So where is the meat in Cat Chow?  Poultry By-Product (from their website)   While I'm not a no by product finatic, I don't think all the meat my cat gets should be from by products.  I'd prefer none, thank you.  Then there is meat and bone meal.  What meat?  From cows? Chickens? Rabbits?  I don't like the non identified meat source.   I know people who say, "My cat lived on this for years and is fine."  That's ok for them, but for my babies, only the best.  And after thorough research, I can't say that this iis the best food.  Hope this helps.  Please read, read, read ingredients.

NOTE: the reviewer indicated that they received a sample of Purina Purina Cat Chow indoor formula
