And see, that could just be a marketing trick on Orijen. It could just say, Chicken, Fish, beans. Are beans good for cats? This says they aren't great as they can lead to obesity:

That's the trick, there are so many different opinions, and no one food hits all the marks.

So I've tended to go with skipping the vet food for now, using the Purina wet because it hits lots of good points(and the vet sells exactly the same thing!) minimize the fish food and using the image I posted above for dry, mostly as a snack for dental health....Oh, that's from Costco by the way. Kirkland Signature Super Premium Maintenance Cat Food.

My previous cat lived to 21 on it, the only mistake I believe being that she didn't get enough moisture. But back when she was young there wasn't a lot of info on that. Other than the kidney issue(which most old cats get) she was the perfect picture of health, never had one dental issue, or any other for that matter. Up to her last days, the vets were amazed at her teeth.
