My cats eat 9-lives indoor formula. And they each get a can of the wet version too when I have a chance to give it to them. When my cat Zeus was a kitten he was weaned way too early. My sister gave him to be as a birthday present and claimed he was 8 weeks old, but I am almost positive he was 4 weeks at the most. He wouldn't eat anything I gave him until I bought the iams canned food. He would eat the gravy off the top of the food and get some food with it.
I had tried several brands of kitten food and the "cat milk" they sell. None of it worked. So he got used to the wet food and once he was older he would eat dry food as well. He freaks out if I don't give him wet food every day so I just go ahead and give it to him. All of my other cats before this were fed only dry food. But I am glad I gave him the wet food because I don't think he would have survived if I hadn't.
I inherited my sisters cat, and as I can't feed just one wet food she eats it now as well. But are 9-lives brand. I was feeding them Pet Pride but they stopped eating it, but would still complain when they wanted wet food so I switched. About a month later was the pet food recall, which included pet pride wet food. ( I have fed them the 9-lives dry food [indoor formula] for over six months now.) I think my cats sensed that the food wasn't right, and I am so glad I listened!!
Edit: The reason I fed him iams when he was a kitten was it came in the small cans, so I wasn't wasting as much each time I fed him. When I got bigger I started feeding him pet pride.
