Great question! I personally recommend a high quality brand such as Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. I recommend these brands because they have veterinary nutritionists on staff who make sure the food is correctly formulated to meet a cat's nutritional needs. Rachel Ray is not a food I would recommend, unfortunately. She is a TV chef with absolutely no eduction or training in animal health or nutrition, so I would not feed a diet from someone who doesn't have those credentials. The brands I recommended above employ full time veterinary nutritionists on their staff, who have the eduction and training needed to correctly formulate a cat's diet. Good luck, I hope this helps!

In general, you should avoid any grain free diets. Pets generally don't have allergies to grains and I recommend to feed a high quality diet such as Purina ProPlan, Science Diet or Royal Canin. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

I recommend Hills Science Diet, Purina, and Royal Canin. These are all high quality brands with good research behind them, that perform feeding trials to ensure adequate bioavailability of all the essential nutrients. Hope that helps!

I understand that it can be quite confusing to know what is good food versus bad food with all the conflicting information out there, but you definitely don't need to break the bank to feed good food. Also, there is A LOT misleading and outright false information amongst various people in the community, which may make you feel like you're feeding an inadequate or dangerous food. Purina One is a good food that I have fed to pets in the past. I have no problem with it and would only suggest that you ensure the food is labeled for Greyson's life stage. Below is a link that explains how to check the product for this information. There is no one food that I think is superior to any other and the reality is that they are all quite similar and provide adequate nutrients. https://www.petcoach.co/article/what-to-look-for-when-choosing-your-pet-s-food I hope that helps. If I missed something, please feel free to post the question again.
