My two cats are now eating salomn nature variety instinct cans and some six fishes orijen kibbles. Should I vary up their types of protein and if so how often should I rotate to prevent possible allergy in the future? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 11 lbs

If your kitties are on their current diet because of suspected allergy, and the current foods are well tolerated, i would not switch. If they are both balanced diets then you don't necessarily need different protein sources. It they like the food and are maintaining weight with no tummy upset then it's a great diet for them.
