Granted this may work for some cats but many do not do well on a high fibre diet. A lower fibre, grain free, wet food diet is best. It sounds like Baylor does not do well on a high fibre diet as well. I look for canned food that has a MAX fibre content of 1.5%. Anything higher and my cat blocks.
They do best on a very meaty, low-carb diet that eliminates or limits potentially inflammatory ingredients. The thickeners in canned foods (whether they're gums, potato, tapioca, or legumes) are one of the big reasons we feed the cats mostly commercial raw and cooked homemade food, plus just one canned meal a day.
The best Wellness line of canned cat foods is their "Core" line of six formulas which are grain-free / high protein / low carbohydrate / low starch. For example, the Core Chicken Turkey & Chicke Liver formula is 55% protein and 11% carbohydrate on a dry-matter basis.
30. Purraise. 2. Thank you so much for all of the info and links! Was definitely thinking the high meat, low carb, grain free canned food was a pretty good alternative. Its reassuring to hear that your kitty is doing so well on that kind of food after a major instance of crystals! May 30, 2015. #4.
Weruva is exactly what I'd suggest, too: we had a cat who had mild-to-moderate kidney disease and Weruva was the food I fed most because of the low phosphorus. I used the charts on Tanya's site (here) to select foods that were at or under (or at least not much over!) 1% phosphorus dry matter.
Hi! I noticed Evangers has a variety out now that they're touting as low phos, but I apologize, I haven't had a chance to look at the numbers. Evanger's EVx Restricted Diet: Low Phosphorus Beef Wet Cat Food - 5.5 Oz. Daves pet food does as well; Dave's Pet Food Restricted Diet for Kidneys Low Phosphorus & Low Protein.
He goes for the slices, but he won't touch pate. This is good grain free wet canned cat food. No grain, no gluten, no soy, no veges and no carrageenan. It is slightly expensive since it normally sells at Petsmart for $1.19 for a 3 oz can, but most of the time it's on sale for $1.10 a can.

Discussed the confusion with the vet as I was trying to do conversion to calorie. He advised feeding just above what the feeding recommendation is on back of can. So, for an example food she is fed and will eat successfully: Merrick Turkey Pate (5.5oz can) = "1110 kcal/kg or 175 kcal p/5.5 oz can."
Most people will recommend 100% canned food only. Catinfo.org goes into why canned or raw food is best. However, a little dry food in the diet is perfectly fine. It's actually good to get a kitten used to different types of food. I suggest limiting the dry to no more than 1/2 cup or so daily.
