I don't have a cat . . .
. . . . but if I had one, what brand and type of cat food should I feed it?:@

I will say this.... When I inherited a bunch of ferals from neighbors that moved away, I initially continued feeding them the same grocery store garbage chow that the neighbors had provided. After a little while, I realized that I could spend the same and provide a better diet with less work by upgrading. Now they get Taste Of The Wild kibble with a little canned food for flavor and water to keep them hydrated. They love it, of course. In winter, I use hot water.
I spend the same or less per cat and have half the hauling to do of cat food, and half the waste generated per day.
Fillers (and yes, that includes grain) make more poop and you feed more food. The cost is no less because they need so much more. Who the heck wants more poop or more food to lug in? Get the good stuff.
And no, feeding feral cats does not do them or anyone else harm. If you have a brain and get them fixed, it creates a smaller, stable placekeeper population living more comfortable lives.
Killing cats does them harm. Or trapping them for others to kill. Killing is just about as harmful as it gets.
