This food a good food (there are better options however). Purina's top product line is ProPlan. It will contain higher quality and easier to digest proteins and other nutrients but you can continue feeding the cat chow if you like. For now however, you will want to continue this diet and start the cats on any new diet after they are transited to your home. Having two cats is generally pretty easy as long as they get along. Make sure each cat gets attention and play time. You may also provide two litter boxes (or even three) to make sure the cats don't feel that it gets soiled too quickly. Most cats are fine sharing a water and food bowl as long as they don't have dominance or competition between them. If they do seem to have some problems, you will need to have two separate feeding and water areas. It would also be useful to read up on cat behavior so that you can interpret what the cats are saying to each other. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions

Wellness, Weruva and Royal Canin are all good choices. When it comes to a canned food, look for one with a named protein source of animal (not plant) origin. Choose a food that comes from the can looking like a hockey puck. Avoid foods with gravies or sauces. These are typically higher in carbs which can predispose a cat to obesity. Avoid meat meals, by-products as well as store or discount brands. These latter two contain low quality ingredients and more fillers.

If you would like to feed a homemade diet, I would recommend using a website like balanceit.com or discussing a recipe with a veterinary nutritionist. Completely meat diets won't be balanced for all of their micronutrient needs. Wet cat foods usually have higher protein concentrations than dry food. Purina Pro Plan makes a good dry cat food that has 45% protein, my cat loves it! In the wild, cats don't eat just meat. They will snack on grass and eat entrails of herbivores, which give them fiber and grains.

I feel like Wellness fits all of those categories pretty well. I guess affordable is a very relative term, but if you are only feeding one cat, one of the large cans should last you a bit. This is what I feed to my three adult cats and they all love it. You will definitely need to go to a pet food store, tractor supply, or an online supplier to obtain this food rather than a supermarket usually. Hill's also makes pretty good quality (has a grain free line) food, but I don't think their wet food is smooth like you requested. Anyway, hope this helps!

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! I think the Purina Pro Plan diets are very good and also affordable. Both dry and wet diets are equally good in general especially for younger cats. I prefer wet food in older cats when I am concerned about kidney disease just to increase the water content in the diet. Good luck and have a great day!
