Looking for a good food for our 7 month old kitty. He seems to have horrible gas. Right now he is eating Purina One kitten dry food. A bit of funny stool as of yesterday but not as much today.

I would have Axl checked out by a vet first. Medical problems such as a GI illness and intestinal worms can cause the gas and funny stool. Should he have one of these problems, the vet can treat him for it. If a medical problem is ruled out, brands of kitten food I recommend include Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, and Iams. Good luck, I hope this helps!
