Variety's Important
Even if you're feeding your cats great food it's really important to mix it up.
Raw food is probably your best bet. It's good sometimes to pick up a heart or some liver from the grocery store. If your cat's been eating a lot of beef switch it up with some fish.
If you feed your cat dry food make sure to mix it up with canned food, and make sure to switch the brands from time to time.
