Animal Planet has a audio podcast on cat nutrition: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/animal-planet-video-podcast/id265954326
It's number 50 on the list.
The interview is with Dr. Elizabeth Colleran, current president of the American Association of Feline Practioners.
There are some good points made, such as cats are cornivores (Dr. Colleran doesn't say obligate carnivores, though), canned food should be fed for the water content (and also feed dry food for the "textural content" :roll: ), offer a variety of foods and textures and flavos so that if a diet change is needed later in life because of a medical issue you can easily switch the food and not end up with a cat on a hunger strike. The only health concern really discussed was obesity and how diet and excercise can help.
Overall, it's a pretty interesting interview :smile:
The podcast is free and you need to have iTunes on your computer in order to listen to it.
