I'm feeding the kitten pouches which are appaerently 0.24% phosperous?

I'm not sure of the exact formula to work it out, but usually the phos figures are given for dry matter so for wet food which is usually around 80% water, the dry matter figure for a wet food that is 0.24% would be around 1% which is good.

Kitten pouches are complete, I checked yesterday cos I was curious. As MM says, complimentary foods are fine as long as they are fed with a complete dry. I didn't notice this in the Tesco I was in yesterday though (despite just being to PAH, I have to check the cat food aisle in any supermarket in case there are offers).

I am very wary of hi-life pouches as apart from only being complementary, they have very high levels of Phosphorus. One of the flavours is over 6% which is really dangerous for older cats or any cats with kidney issues (bearing in mind regular catfood is 1 - 1.5%)

I wiah I had read that earlier today as I was in the area of my local Tesco store - it is a very long cycle ride away.  I feel I have to go there now.
