My kitties are only 2.5 yrs old so I voted based on my old cats who've died.
Speck my lovely old lady (13 yrs old) died of cancer, she ate Purina kibble her entire life (before I came here an got some education on foods)
Stupid (9 yrs old) died from diabetes, likely a result of eating Purina his entire life as well. Unfortunately we didn't have the resources of this site available to us to help him live a longer life. We didn't even know that cats could get diabetes.
They both passed several years ago. Since then I've got 2 beauties that I'm making up for all that was lacking with my first 2. I feel a great deal of guilt that I didn't know how horrible the food was that we were feeding them. They'd definitely still be alive today.
