Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I also like Royal Canin the best from what you listed. I do not recommend cooking for cats as they have very specific amino acid requirements and can become very sick if they do not receive a proper diet. The best thing for Noushmc is to be fed a well balanced commercial cat food. You can pay for a Vet to help develop a home cooked diet at this website: https://secure.balanceit.com/ I wish you and Noushmc the best!
