With most things in life, it's a personal decision. There are many different opinions on this, and mine is that Taz was miserable eating a reduced AMOUNT of "regular" food, so he eats a similar amount as before of "diet" food. He's lost weight, his coat is NOT dull, his poops aren't any bigger, and he's happy. The most important part in that is, he's HAPPY.

I wanted to add that I have tried Taz on the Evo, and he developed bloody diarrhea (all over the condo I was trying to sell), and had to spend a day at the emergency vet and then eat canned Hills A/D for 3 weeks until his digestive tract cleared. He was extremely sick, and as a result, Evo is not something I will feed to any of my cats, nor recommend to anyone I know. Again, that's based on personal opinion and things that I've seen and been through.

Thanks for the help on the Purina issue.
