Standing in the pet food aisle, it doesn’t take long to notice that a cat food label can contain a surprisingly long list of ingredients, some familiar, some not. I started paying closer attention to those labels because I wanted to know exactly what my cats were actually eating, rather than just trusting whatever packaging…
