My cat finds Science Diet Indoor kibble too big. What's smaller?

I was reading a few questions people have put on here and they said that their cat choked ok the indoor science diet for adult cats because it's so big. What other science diet would you recommend if that is an issue?

I personally haven't found that to be an issue, as cat food typically isn't large because cats do not have big mouths. Unfortunately there is no Science Diet small bites for cats, those types of diets are for dogs because they do vary so much in mouth size due to breed differences. You can try the Science Diet Indoor, but if you find it too big for Ellie, Science Diet Feline adult is just fine for her. Be sure to feed her according to the package instructions so you don't give her too much food, and make sure she has plenty of play time to get exercise. I hope this helps :-)
