Hi and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! Sheba brand is a slightly better formula than the Friskies and 9 lives. It may also be that the Sheba brand food is more palatable to her than the others. Like people, cats can have variable tastes so it may be that she just prefers this brand over the others.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Boop by Petco. Purina makes several options of grain-free diets for cats, and this is a reputable brand. That being said, most veterinarians do not recommend feeding grain-free diets to cats or dogs. Grains provide vital nutrients to cats (and dogs) and do not cause any harm. Most food allergies in cats and dogs are to specific types of proteins, not grains. Some grain-free diets are lower in carbohydrates, which means that they can be quite high in both fat and calories. Other grain-free diets merely substitute similar amounts of highly refined starches such as those from potatoes or tapioca (cassava) in place of grains. These ingredients may provide fewer nutrients and less fiber than whole grains, while costing more. Please see the attached link to learn more about the truth about grain-free diets, and share with your friends! http://vetnutrition.tufts.edu/2016/06/grain-free-diets-big-on-marketing-small-on-truth/. I hope this is helpful!

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!

No, it's not good for cats either. Grain free is a fad, there is no science behind it at all. Brands of food I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, and Iams. I feed my cats Iams. I hope this helps!

I would recommend following the guideline on the can to start. Usually it is an overestimate of the required calories. If your cat seems to be losing or gaining weight you can then adjust how much food you are feeding. If your cat is on the thinner side you may want to start with more food and if your cat is overweight start on the lower end of the recommended amount of food.
