I went to my local animal feed shop to inquire anout CSFTCLS and he said that he didn't carry it anymore. The store specifically sells animal food/feeds/supplies. He said that he works with a Holistic Vet (I belive he has a farm) and she said she wasn't overly impressed with CSFTCLS. Although it is not a bad food, she just thought that there were better holistic foods out there. She also thought that some of the sodium contents were too high, especially the canine formula.(I'm not slamming CSFTCLS.. just passing on info, I know a lot of Hedgie owners love it)
So I asked what he reccomended for a very high quality/low fat holistic feline food. He reccomended:

I fed it to homer, who never eats from my hand or while we are up and he gobbled it up. I also liked the smell of the food. Instead of smelling like animal, it smelled like chicken broth, blueberry and cranberry.
Then I ate a peice of Eucanuba and a Peice of the Wellness. No wonder Homer didn't like the Eucanuba. :Pukey: Gross. But the Wellness brand actually tasted like chicken and cranberry. :slurp:
