Cats should eat a high protein, low carb diet. The protein should be of animal, not plant origin. You can find a variety of wet and dry foods at your local Petco or online ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/category/cat/cat-food ). Cats should not eat fatty foods. You should also avoid chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, grapes/raisins, onions/garlic or dairy products.
