I have been feeding this to my 10 year old cat for a few months.  I had to cut back on my expenses and this was all I could afford to feed my cat.  Surprisingly, my picky cat loved it!  She refuses to eat much else.  At PetSmart, a 3.15 pound bag costs about $5.99.   Not a bad price at all.  It contains chicken, salmon, whole grain oats, egg, cheese, and bacon flavors.  It is like breakfast for cats!

The first five ingredients are ground yellow corn, corn gluten meal, chicken by-product-meal, meat and bone meal, and soybean meal.  I am not impressed by these ingredients at all.  Any corn product is pretty much a filler ingredient because it is cheap and abundant.  If the cat food companies use a lot of corn products in the cat food, they make a larger profit.

This is cat food is inexpensive and tasty.  I suggest it to those who are on a budget.  However, only feed your cat a little bit of this and supplement this with a healthier cat food such as Blue Buffalo or Wellness.  You could even give your cat some chicken or tuna with a little bit of this food as a treat.
 
I rescued a 3 month old kitten a few weeks ago that I named Chico.  He is adorable and so loving.  I bought a bag of Purina Kitten Chow for him.  He likes it, but I don't know if he loves it.  When he was a stray, teenagers were throwing dog food out for him, so I guess anything would be an improvement over that.

Now let's talk ingredients.  The first five ingredients are chicken by-product-meal, corn gluten, Brewers rice, soy flour, and animal fat preserved with some type of chemical that I cannot spell. 
These ingredients could be better.  I do not like chicken by-product-meal or corn in my four legged family member's food. 

Purina may not be as great of a brand as Wellness or Blue Buffalo, but it is more affordable.   A 3.15 pound bag costs about $6.49 at PetSmart.  It is pretty healthy for a growing kitten and I would recommend it for anyone that is on a budget.  Make sure to supplement their diet if you feed this to them with real chicken or tuna: just give them tiny pieces.  I used to feed stray kittens chicken and tuna or sardines because I could not afford kitten food at the time, and they seemed pretty healthy.
