And after you're done that, more reading on why kibble makes cats fat:

It's not the fat you have to worry about, but the carbs. And C/D is a whopping 36% calories from carbs. The first 2 ingredients are rice and corn, making this food completely inappropriate for a carnivore. Have your cats had urinary tract issues in the past?
