@Willee#1 Hi there ~ Could you tell me a little bit about Soulistic cat food? It's one that I have not heard about. Do you have to order it online? How many ounces each can and the carb count and calories. I feed my cat Fancy Feast Turkey Feast and Chicken Feast and 3 of the Wellness no grains but saw your comment about phosphorus being too high. Are you in the States? Thanks in advance to whatever info you can give me.
 
Hi Bobbie, you can find Soulistic cat food at Petco stores. Some are very high carb, but others are low enough for our sugar kitties. The cat food list at catinfo.org has several of the flavors listed with carb & phosphorus stats. Hope that helps!
 
I just looked up phosphorus levels on Tanya's site. Optimally should be .5% on a dry matter basis, but 1% is good. Don't know if those levels are for all cats or just those with kidney problems. The FF I've been feeding is 1.69%. Not sure if that's too high for comfort or not. So far no signs of kidney problems, but because I can't get his BG under control, maybe I should pay more attention to phosphorus levels?
 
I think Cindi posted on Kali's thread a link for kidney cats, maybe that would answer that for you. I was just looking up Soulistic cat food. It looks like only 3 oz cans available?
 
yep, just found it along with the calories and carb count. For a 5.5 oz can of Aromatic chicken, less than 1% carbs and calories are 98. I would have to give him about 3 1/2 cans / day to get the calories he needs for his size. I might try it because I like that there isn't a lot of extra stuff in the formula. Thanks Sharon.
 
BTW, it's actually made by Weruva. It's the version of their food they make specifically for Petco.
The "Aromatic Chicken" is basically chicken in jello. My cats like it.
 
FYI. Soulistic cat food is made by Weruva and is labeled for Petco. I confirmed this with David Forman, personally a few years ago. He was super nice. And after a back and forth email he asked me for my phone number and called me it was probably 9:30-10 Pacific Time and he is on the East Coast. How was that for customer service :)
 
That's the issue that I worry about as well with the high protein foods. The phosphorous levels are really high for cats whose kidneys are somewhat compromised or not working fully/through age related issues. I've had a previous diabetic cat as well as a CKF cat. We were told to stick to a .5% (almost impossible to get) to a .6% on Dry Matter Analysis (don't go by what you see on a can as that can be misleading). One of the ones that seems to do quite well with phosphorous is Weruva. If all else fails and you need to keep that phosphorous level down but, can't get a food that works for your cat...there are "phosphorous binders" that can be given.

Thanks Louellen and Janet and Izzy! I appreciate the information.
 
The Feline CRF site notes that cooked egg white is high protein and low phosphorus. If you follow the Cat Info statement that you can add 1 ounce lean protein to 5 ounces cat food, mix well, then portion out, that may take a little edge off the phosphorus levels, as well as reducing the fat and carb calories while maintaining the protein content.
