We have a PetSmart rewards card or whatever they call it. Today we got
our first ever sample from them, a sample bag of Purina Healthful Life Cat
food.

HUH! I have a PetsMart rewards card and I never get samples!

Of course we had to see if the owners like it. The think it is cat candy.
It is a dry cat food, so some of you will want to stop reading right now
I won't go into the dry/wet cat food debate, it is like arguing with a
tiger, it never changes anyone's minds and just annoys the tiger.

True. I try to feed mine just canned, but they LURVE dry so I give them
that as treats.

Well gang, what do you think? The cats love it, we're currently feeding
Purina Indoor Cat, and will need to buy more food at the beginning of the
month. I would really appreciate your opinions.

I'm not sure about the nutritional values, the best site I know of about cat
nutrition is Phil P's: http://www.maxshouse.com/feline_nutrition.htm.

But one thing to note - for the foods that can be gotten there, Wal-Mart is
MUCH cheaper than PetsMart (here Fancy Feast is $0.46/can regular price at
Wal-Mart and $0.62/can regular price at PetsMart (but $0.50 with a PetsMart
card)).
